en.Wedoany.com Reported - FORT Robotics has announced its integration into the NVIDIA Halos for Robotics ecosystem, which provides a safety framework for autonomous robots. FORT will demonstrate a proxy safety application built on the open-source NVIDIA Halos Outside-In Safety Blueprint at the Automate show in Chicago, and will co-exhibit with NVIDIA at the Humanoid Robot Pavilion on June 23.
The NVIDIA Outside-In Safety Blueprint, combined with the FORT trust layer, extends robot perception beyond onboard sensors by leveraging external infrastructure sensors and visual AI agents. It provides certifiable real-time functional safety to maximize operational throughput. The solution utilizes NVIDIA IGX Thor and NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge for AI computing and sensor connectivity, enabling robots to safely collaborate with workers in efficient modes and dynamically adapt to complex environments. This technology offers clear value advantages over traditional inside-out functional safety systems, which are limited to onboard sensors and conservative operational constraints.
Traditional safety systems are designed for predictable machines in confined environments and lack the flexibility required for mobile robotic systems in warehouses and factories. The Outside-In safety approach automatically adjusts robot efficiency in dynamic environments, reducing deceleration caused by safety constraints while optimizing productivity without compromising safety. As workplaces increasingly adopt autonomous systems and physical AI, safety frameworks must adapt to human-machine hybrid environments. This solution provides proactive situational awareness to prevent safety incidents in real time. The NVIDIA Halos Outside-In Safety Blueprint will help FORT's customers in industries such as warehousing and manufacturing unlock greater value from robots and existing infrastructure—for example, by using building-mounted cameras to optimize trailer unloading, inventory replenishment, and product assembly processes, thereby achieving cost savings.
FORT is a member of the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, the world's first inspection body accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANAB) for physical AI and autonomous systems. It provides a unified framework for functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI compliance verification for autonomous vehicles, robots, and sensor technologies.
FORT CEO Samuel Reeves stated that safety has always been a prerequisite for scaling deployment; you cannot widely deploy robots if you cannot ensure their safe operation around people and critical infrastructure. The collaboration with NVIDIA makes safety truly intelligent, making robots not only safer but also more efficient—a combination the industry has been waiting for.
FORT has long been an industry standard in safety-certified control, providing hardware and software foundations for autonomous systems to mitigate real-world operational risks. The Outside-In safety approach extends FORT's physical AI trust layer to broader domains. By automatically adjusting robot efficiency in dynamic environments, it reduces deceleration and improves safety. Its technical roadmap includes three types: Outside-In safety, onboard active safety (enabling machines to detect, predict, and respond to their environment in real time, executing intelligent real-time planning and emergency maneuvers), and human-in-the-loop control (including line-of-sight control, remote operation, and intervention).
FORT Robotics provides the foundational trust layer for the physical AI economy, enabling safe human-machine collaboration. With 27 patents and over 19,000 devices deployed to more than 600 customers worldwide, FORT is a safety partner for Fortune 500 companies in agriculture, construction, warehousing, and other sectors.
