Build Safe, Intelligent Robotics with NVIDIA Halos 

System Architecture & Core Features

At the heart of Inventec’s Physical AI Safety Solution is Halos OS, the foundational software layer of the NVIDIA Halos for Robotics platform. It is engineered to unify real-time AI, strict functional safety, and high-performance edge computing into a single, bulletproof execution stack.

• Built on the NVIDIA IGX Thor™ Platform

  Engineered specifically for industrial-grade, mission-critical computing. It features a dedicated hardware Functional Safety Island (FSI) that isolates safety functions from general computing tasks, ensuring continuous, deterministic safety monitoring.

• Dual-OS Integration (Linux + QNX)

  The Halos Core framework masterfully combines the flexibility of Linux with the hard real-time predictability of the QNX Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). This unified environment allows the system to simultaneously process heavy high-level AI inference alongside ultra-low-latency, deterministic hardware control loops.

• Safety Extensions Package  & Holoscan Sensor Bridge 

  By utilizing the specialized Safety Extensions Package paired with Holoscan SensorBridge (HSB), the system guarantees that massive, multi-modal sensor data is streamed, validated, and converted into safe operational commands in absolute real time.
