Industrial Autonomy Accelerates: Hexagon Robotics pushes Physical AI forward with NVIDIA

AEON Assembles Battery Components at BMW

San Jose, California, March 16, 2026This week marks an important milestone in our collaboration with NVIDIA. Three separate announcements highlight our collaboration in deploying into real-world applications, accelerating the development of humanoid robotics through an open Physical AI data factory blueprint, and using NVIDIA IGX Thor to bring real-time Physical AI to the industrial edge.

“Our collaboration with NVIDIA marks a pivotal step in bringing Physical AI out of the lab and into the real world. Together, we’re building humanoid robotics systems that are not only more capable but also fundamentally more human-aware and industry-ready."

These initiatives reflect a shared commitment to advancing industrial autonomy through humanoid robotics. Below is a quick overview of each announcement and what it means for our customers.

Hexagon Robotics leverages NVIDIA open robotics platform to accelerate humanoid robotics

Hexagon Robotics emerges as a key industry leader in NVIDIA’s global robotics ecosystem, leveraging NVIDIA’s open robotics platform, including Cosmos world models, Isaac Sim, and Isaac Lab, to accelerate the design and validation of next-generation humanoid and intelligent robotic systems.

For Hexagon Robotics’ clients, this collaboration means faster deployment of reliable Physical AI humanoid robots that deliver higher productivity, improved operational accuracy, and more adaptive automation, powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor computing platform, which enables a seamless transition from simulation to real-world performance.

Hexagon Robotics adopts NVIDIA Physical AI Data Factory Blueprint to accelerate Synthetic Data Generation

Hexagon Robotics is among the first developers to apply NVIDIA’s new Physical AI Data Factory Blueprint to accelerate perception, mobility, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning pipelines, delivering faster improvements and more capable robotic systems built on richer, more diverse datasets.

The blueprint streamlines the end-to-end process of curating, generating, and validating massive volumes of high-quality training data, enabling breakthrough speed and reliability in Physical AI development.

By leveraging NVIDIA’s AI-powered data workflows and cloud-scale orchestration, Hexagon Robotics can deliver smarter, safer, and more adaptable robotics solutions that perform reliably in complex real-world industrial scenarios.

Hexagon Robotics adopts IGX Thor to achieve industrial-grade, real-time Physical AI at the edge

Hexagon Robotics is leveraging NVIDIA IGX Thor, NVIDIA’s newly released industrial-grade platform built for real-time Physical AI at the edge, to power safer, more autonomous robots capable of interpreting complex environments with high-speed sensor processing and multimodal fusion.
By combining Hexagon Robotics’ expertise with NVIDIA’s enterprise-grade reliability and functional-safety compute platform, humanoid robots operate more intelligently and consistently in demanding settings such as manufacturing, logistics, and construction.

Together, these announcements reinforce Hexagon Robotics’ position at the forefront of Physical AI, turning advanced NVIDIA technologies into practical, scalable humanoid solutions and bringing increasingly capable, adaptive, robotic systems from simulation into everyday industrial operations.
