Physical AI is revolutionizing smart cities, facilities, and industrial processes globally. NVIDIA partners with companies like Accenture, Belden, and Milestone Systems to enhance operations with physical AI-based perception and reasoning. This technology automates tasks, improves safety, transportation services, and detects defects in factories. The NVIDIA Metropolis platform simplifies the development of video analytics AI agents for enhanced productivity and safety in various environments.

Accenture collaborates with Belden to create smart virtual fences using physical AI for worker safety around large robots. Avathon uses NVIDIA Blueprint for video search and summarization to provide real-time insights for manufacturing and energy facilities. DeepHow’s “Smart Know-How Companion” improves workflows with bite-sized videos. Milestone Systems is building a real-world computer vision data library through Project Hafnia. Telit Cinterion integrates NVIDIA TAO Toolkit for AI-powered visual inspection.

NVIDIA Metropolis updates include the Cosmos Reason VLM for contextual video understanding, VSS Blueprint 2.4 for augmenting vision AI applications, and new vision foundation models. NVIDIA Isaac Sim Extensions help solve vision AI development challenges, while expanded hardware support enables deployment from edge to cloud. Cosmos Reason 1 and NVIDIA TAO 6.0 are now available for download, with more updates on the way. Join NVIDIA at SIGGRAPH for more insights into industrial digitalization.
