We are excited to announce that FORT has joined the newly launched NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, a collaborative initiative focused on ensuring the safety and reliability of cutting-edge autonomous systems. The initiative – which was announced today at GTC Paris– reflects a shared commitment to pioneering new safety approaches for the next generation of machines.
This milestone marks the latest step in our ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA, combining the FORT Robotics Control Platform with NVIDIA IGX to enable the use of AI for safety-critical applications at industrial edge. Integrating these technologies represents a completely new approach to robot safety architecture– one that enables AI-driven machines to meet the levels of assurance that are required for high-stakes operations and environments.
“We’re excited to be working with NVIDIA to tackle the challenge of how to evaluate and certify the safety of systems that are running the latest AI,” says FORT Founder and CEO Samuel Reeves. “It’s a challenge that is more important than ever, and we believe this program will be instrumental in outlining a standard approach to AI functional safety.”
The AI Systems Inspection Lab will serve as an entry point to NVIDIA Halos, NVIDIA’s comprehensive hardware and software solution for autonomous vehicle safety and Physical AI. It is the first ANAB-accredited initiative to bring together functional safety, cybersecurity, AI risk management, and regulatory compliance into a unified verification framework.
“The FORT Robotics Control Platform is designed to empower machine builders and users with safe and secure control, even in the most dynamic applications,” says Nathan Bivans, FORT CTO. “This is an ideal partnership because our goals align so closely with those of the AI Inspection Lab. We’re looking forward to working together to set a new benchmark for safe autonomy.”
As autonomous technologies move rapidly from prototype to deployment, ensuring their safety is not just a technical challenge—it’s a foundational requirement. At FORT, we believe that trust is essential to unlocking the full potential of autonomy. This initiative with NVIDIA is a powerful step toward building and verifying that trust into every layer of the machine operation.
