At GTC Paris, NEXCOM announced that NexCOBOT, a NEXCOM company and provider of robotic solutions, has joined the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab. NVIDIA has established an ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB)-accredited AI Systems Inspection Lab, integrating functional safety, cybersecurity, AI, and regulations into a unified safety framework, according to NEXCOM.
This collaboration aims to advance the safe development of various types of robots, with a ocus on humanoid designs, according to NEXCOM. NexCOBOT is among the first robotics companies to join the lab.
NEXCOM is committed to developing functional safety technology. Based on international standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1, NEXCOM has created a range of functional safety hardware and software products that enable industrial and collaborative robots to more easily comply with ISO 10218-1 requirements.
As a certified member, NEXCOM will now integrate its solutions with the NVIDIA IGX Thor NVIDIA Halos platform to build a one-stop functional safety standard development platform. This is designed to streamline robot function development and applications on a single platform, encompassing AI, motion control, and functional safety applications, according to NEXCOM.
NVIDIA is extending the success of NVIDIA Halos from autonomous vehicles to robotics and industrial applications with the founding of the NVIDIA Halos AI System Inspection Lab. This lab provides AI robot inspection services. By leveraging the NVIDIA IGX Thor platform in conjunction with NEXCOM's SIL2, PLd Cat.3 safety-certified motion modules and surrounding sensing modules, NEXCOM is helping establish a complete robot development architecture and standard development platform.
"Through the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, developers can save substantial time and human resources spent on obtaining various safety certifications," says Jenny Shern, general manager of NexCOBOT, a NEXCOM company. "This inspection system covers the critical AI computing and functional safety technologies required for robot design. Moreover, its modular design allows for flexible functionality expansion based on customer needs, enabling more adaptable robot deployments. NEXCOM will continue to strengthen its collaboration with NVIDIA to comprehensively build the next generation of AI robot applications."
