Physical AI covers hardware applications including humanoid robots, factory automation, autonomous vehicles, smart buildings and rail systems. The announcement follows a series of NVIDIA robotics launches this week: Cosmos 3‑H, a lightweight world-model for physical AI designed to run on edge devices, and two new Jetson robot computers, the T3000 and T2000, positioned between the flagship T4000 series and the AGX Orin platform.
