[NVIDIA Expands Robotics Collaboration with Japanese Companies, Accelerates Physical AI Deployment] Odaily Planet Daily News - NVIDIA (NVDA.O) and four leading Japanese industrial automation companies have announced an expansion of their collaboration in the field of robotics development, further advancing Jensen Huang's efforts in the artificial intelligence hardware business. Fujitsu, FANUC, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Yaskawa Electric will join the NVIDIA-led Cosmos Alliance. The alliance aims to accelerate the adoption of NVIDIA's platform in the development of what the industry refers to as "Physical AI." Physical AI encompasses a wide range of hardware applications, including humanoid robots, factory automation, autonomous vehicles, smart buildings, and rail transit systems. Hitachi, NEC, Komatsu, and Kubota will also join the alliance. Prior to this announcement, NVIDIA unveiled a series of new technologies this week aimed at accelerating robotics development. These include the launch of Cosmos 3-H, a lightweight version of its foundational world model for Physical AI development, which can operate on edge computing devices. Additionally, NVIDIA introduced two new robotic computers, the Jetson T3000 and Jetson T2000, positioned between the flagship T4000 series and the AGX Orin platform. (Jin10)
