Real-World Demo with Kawada Robotics
QNX demonstrated the power of real-time performance and precision with a live Kawada Robotics' NEXTAGE, in collaboration with ERT Solutions. Operating on
QNX Software Development Platform (SDP), this demo featured dual-arm coordination and camera-based vision tasks to pick and transfer objects in a continuous loop. Visitors saw firsthand how QNX delivers the deterministic control and factory-floor robustness required for modern industrial automation.
Digital Factory Automation & Virtual Prototyping
QNX visualized the future of the factory floor, showcasing how manufacturers can accelerate the deployment of industrial systems. Displayed was a virtual factory environment that prototypes robotic applications in real time, highlighting how customers can build highly deterministic and reliable systems. This demo emphasized the ROI of using digital twins to iterate quickly and deploy safe, secure industrial solutions without compromising performance.
QNX Everywhere: Accessible Robotics
Lowering the barrier to entry for innovators and students, QNX presented a hands-on "Baby Robotic Arm" demo running on a Raspberry Pi. By supporting familiar tools like ROS 2 and Python,
QNX Everywhere allows developers to easily prototype with the same software used in industrial environments. This station served as an ideal starting point for those evaluating QNX, proving that commercial-grade reliability is accessible on cost-effective hardware.
Seamless Developer Desktop Experience
QNX showcased a self-hosted developer environment that bridges the gap between Linux workflows and embedded targets, demonstrating how engineers can develop, build, and run on the same system using the open-source tools they already know, eliminating cross-compiling complications. This demo highlighted how easy it is to port existing software and start prototyping on QNX from day one.
We also highlighted the
QNX General Embedded Development Platform (GEDP), a proven foundation designed to tame the complexity of software-defined architectures. QNX showed how this platform scales from SoC to cloud, offering a secure and high-performance base for mission-critical systems. This interactive display underscored our four decades of reliability and expertise in delivering next-gen solutions for safety-critical industries.
Cloud-First Development with QNX Cabin
QNX demonstrated the seamless transition from cloud simulation to production reality with
QNX Cabin. We showcased true "shift left" capabilities, allowing developers to prototype and validate systems early using AWS and dSPACE tools. Highlighting the platform's versatility, we also displayed the solution running on industry-leading Qualcomm SoCs, featuring 14 concurrent displays and sensor fusion to power next-generation automotive experiences.
Accelerating Global Developer Readiness
QNX announced it is significantly expanding its
free Online Learning platform, democratizing access to high-quality, instructor-grade training for developers, students, and commercial users worldwide. Designed to remove traditional barriers around training costs and scheduling, our expanded curriculum provides a clear, practical path to mastering the QNX® Operating System (OS). See how this program is accelerating skills development, moving innovators seamlessly from theory to real code on real targets. Paired directly with the QNX Everywhere initiative, this platform addresses the global shortage of embedded engineers by empowering you to fast-track prototyping and build safe, secure, and highly deterministic software-defined systems.
To meet the accelerating demand for high compute performance and efficient workload consolidation, QNX announced it has expanded its support for the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded x86 processor family. Now available for
QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0, this collaboration brings a powerful new x86 alternative to developers building next-generation, real-time embedded systems. By balancing exceptional performance with power efficiency, this solution is the ideal foundation for mission-critical applications that prioritize both real-time control and rich graphics on a single chip, from automotive digital cockpits to industrial PLCs and advanced medical imaging devices. QNX and AMD are giving the market more choice without ever compromising on commercial-grade reliability or deterministic behavior.
