Nexcom to launch ‘safety-centric humanoid robot controller’

by

Nexcom has unveiled the MARS400 T10, a humanoid robot controller designed with Nvidia Jetson Thor, at the recent Taiwan Automation Intelligence and Robot Show.

The controller integrates AI computing, motion control, and Nexcom’s in-house functional safety system into a single modular platform.

By eliminating the latency and space demands of multi-platform architectures, the MARS400 T10 enables smaller footprints, smoother human-like movements, and longer operating times for humanoid robots. [Read more…] about Nexcom to launch ‘safety-centric humanoid robot controller’

Galbot becomes first company ‘in the world’ to integrate Nvidia Jetson Thor into a humanoid robot

by

Galbot has integrated Nvidia’s Jetson AGX Thor platform into its G1 Premium humanoid robot, aiming to accelerate performance and expand commercial deployment across retail, healthcare, and logistics. The company claims it is the “first in the world” to use the new Nvidia chip tech in a humanoid robot. 

Unveiled at the World Robotics Conference (WRC), the G1 Premium now delivers 7.5x the AI compute of Nvidia Jetson Orin and 3.5x greater energy efficiency. The upgrades enable faster, smoother motion, real-time reasoning, and higher-precision autonomy.

Professor Wang He, founder and CTO of Galbot, says: “Our G1 Premium, now running on Nvidia Jetson Thor, has already demonstrated remarkable advancements in speed and improved real-time reasoning capability. This early adoption empowers us to push our proprietary VLA models to new levels of real-world capability.” [Read more…] about Galbot becomes first company ‘in the world’ to integrate Nvidia Jetson Thor into a humanoid robot

RealSense partners with Nvidia to ‘accelerate adoption and capabilities’ of physical AI for humanoids and AMRs
