NVIDIA

NVIDIA is a US-based company that provides GPU and AI infrastructure, building a simulation and software ecosystem for robotics development. Its Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab tools are widely used by robotics companies and research institutions for training and evaluating robots.

In September 2026, NVIDIA announced the Open Agent Safety Platform, a framework designed to secure AI agents in physical environments. The platform involves over 100 organizations, including Figure AI, Gecko Robotics, and Skild AI, who collaborate to manage AI agent behavioral boundaries using an open-source software component called OpenShell.

Additionally, NVIDIA's FoundationPose technology for 6D object tracking was integrated into Intrinsic's open-sourced robotics stack. Asimov's humanoid locomotion training code and Niantic Spatial's environment library are also designed to be compatible with NVIDIA's Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim. LG Electronics is advancing its robot business toward revenue generation through collaboration with NVIDIA and by supplying AI data center cooling solutions.

In late September 2026, NVIDIA detailed the integration of a CUDA buffer backend in Isaac ROS 5.0, enabling zero-copy transport of GPU-resident data between nodes without serialization. This feature, deployable on Jetson AGX Thor, was highlighted in a tutorial demonstrating the use of an AI agent to optimize ROS 2 data flow. The company also confirmed that 'NVIDIA AI Day Seoul 2026' will take place at COEX in Seoul on November 9 and 10, focusing on physical and agentic AI with participation from 20 partner organizations.
