Physical AI is a new technology that is helping to make cities, factories and other places safer and more efficient. Companies like NVIDIA are working together with partners such as Accenture, Avathon, Belden, DeepHow, Milestone Systems and Telit Cinterion to use Physical AI for smarter operations and improved safety around the world.
Physical AI works by combining video sensors and advanced artificial intelligence that can see and understand what is happening in real time. With smart systems like NVIDIA Metropolis, developers can easily build and install AI-powered video analytics that watch over workplaces and public spaces. These AI systems can do things like automate dangerous jobs in factories, check for product defects and improve both traffic and public safety.
Several companies are using Physical AI in exciting ways. Accenture and Belden have created a smart virtual fence to keep factory workers safe around large robots by predicting and preventing accidents. Avathon uses AI to analyze video feeds in real time for safer and more efficient work at industrial sites. DeepHow turns complex work instructions into simple videos and guides, making it faster and easier to train new factory workers. Milestone Systems is building a huge collection of real world video data to help develop better AI for managing city roads and infrastructure. Telit Cinterion uses NVIDIA tools to quickly build custom AI models for factories to catch defects and ensure quality.
NVIDIA is also making improvements to its Metropolis platform to support developers. New updates include the Cosmos Reason model, which helps AI understand and reason about real events in videos. The Vision Search and Summarization blueprint now makes it easier to add advanced AI to smart city and industrial applications. The TAO Toolkit now comes with new vision AI models and ways to simplify building and fine tuning them. NVIDIA Isaac Sim features help create realistic simulations to train AI when real data is limited. Finally, all of these tools now work on the most recent NVIDIA hardware, giving companies the flexibility to run AI either onsite or in the cloud.
Physical AI is helping to save lives, prevent costly mistakes and make our cities and industries smarter. Together, these technologies and partnerships are bringing us closer to a safer and more efficient world.
