- Nvidia unveiled Halos, a safety-focused operating system derived from its autonomous vehicle technology and aimed at making humanoid robots safer around people.
- Halos is designed to run on Nvidia's IGX Thor hardware and will be supported by a newly opened lab dedicated to humanoid robot safety.
Why it matters: By porting autonomous-vehicle safety infrastructure into humanoid robotics, Nvidia is positioning its IGX Thor platform and Halos OS as a foundational safety stack for a category where regulatory and public-trust standards have not yet been established.
