Software Foundation for Physical AI​

As robotics, medical, and industrial systems become more autonomous and software-defined, safety and determinism cannot be afterthoughts. Integrating QNX OS for Safety 8.0 with NVIDIA IGX Thor and NVIDIA Halos Safety Stack brings together a trusted real‑time safety foundation and a powerful functional safety platform for edge AI. This expanded collaboration builds on our work with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor Development Kit and extends the same proven architecture from automotive into the next wave of regulated, intelligent systems.

Robotics is at an inflection point where artificial intelligence is no longer confined to screens or simulations but is increasingly expressed through physical movements in shared real-world environments where the safety stakes are incredibly high. QNX provides the deterministic software foundation that makes this new era of Physical AI trustworthy, whether you are experimenting with a low‑cost robotic prototype or deploying advanced commercial systems in safety‑critical environments.

Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, QNX

As organizations accelerate their move toward software‑defined and Physical AI architectures, they cannot compromise on safety, predictability, or development speed. QNX Hypervisor 8.0 for Safety delivers the foundation they need to meet these demands, and the commitments we are seeing from leading automotive and medical customers reflect the real‑world value of this platform.
