At Automate 2026 in Chicago, FORT Robotics announced that it was integrating with the NVIDIA Halos outside-in safety blueprint, extending its trust layer for physical AI beyond the robot itself.
At Automate 2026 in Chicago, FORT Robotics announced that it joined the NVIDIA Halos for Robotics ecosystem that’s bringing safety to autonomous robots.
FORT said that the NVIDIA Outside-In Safety Blueprint combined with the FORT Trust Layer extends robot perception beyond onboard sensors by using external infrastructure sensors and visual AI agents to deliver real-time, safety-certifiable functional safety to maximize operational throughput.
FORT Robotics said that by utilizing NVIDIA IGX Thor and NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge for AI compute and sensor connectivity, the offering enables robots to safely operate alongside workers at high efficiency modes while dynamically adapting to complex environments. The company said that it provides significant value beyond traditional inside-out functional safety systems that are limited to onboard sensors and conservative operating constraints.
FORT Robotics said that where traditional safety systems were built for predictable machines in bounded settings, they lack the flexibility needed for mobile robot systems in constantly changing warehouses and factories. The company said that the Outside-In Safety automatically modulates robot efficiency across dynamic environments, reducing costly robot slowdowns and optimizing both safety and productivity.
"Safety has always been the precondition for scale - you can't deploy robots broadly if you can't guarantee they'll operate safely around people and valuable infrastructure," said Samuel Reeves, CEO of FORT Robotics. "What collaborating with NVIDIA gives us is enhanced perception that makes safety genuinely intelligent. Agentic robots that understand their environment and respond in real time aren't just safer, they're more productive. That's the combination the industry has been waiting for."
As more worksites adopt autonomous systems and physical AI, FORT Robotics said that safety frameworks must adapt to protect workers in mixed human-robot environments. By providing proactive situational awareness, FORT Robotics said that Outside-In Safety can prevent safety incidents and protect workers in real time, and can help address safety challenges across multiple industries.
