Nvidia launches Cosmos 3 Edge robot model, forms Japan coalition
Nvidia on July 16 unveiled Cosmos 3 Edge, a 4-billion-parameter 'world model' for on-device vision reasoning and robot-action generation that runs on Jetson and edge GPUs, letting robots perceive and navigate physical environments in real time. During CEO Jensen Huang's visit to Tokyo, the company said Japanese industrial leaders - including FANUC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kubota, NEC, SoftBank, Sony and Yaskawa Electric - intend to join a new NVIDIA Cosmos Coalition to build open physical-AI models. Kawasaki said it plans to apply Nvidia's Cosmos, Isaac and Holoscan software to surgical-support, nursing-assistance and hospital-transport robots.
