QNX to bring hands-on demonstrations and new research to the Robotics Summit
Using QNX OS, the system incorporates dynamic safety in real-time. The system responds immediately and deterministically anytime an object or person enters its path of motion.
Key takeaways
- The most recent headlines show a surge of activity around humanoid robots.
- In early May, Figure AI unveiled a video of two of its Helix 02 humanoids making a bed together, highlighting new training that lets the robots open doors, push furniture and drape clothing, though the company has not announced a consumer launch date.
- Figure AI, valued at $39 billion, is racing against rivals such as Tesla’s Optimus and other emerging makers.
- At the same time, Genesis AI introduced its GENE‑26.5 “brain,” a foundation model paired with a human‑hand‑shaped robotic gripper that it says overcomes the data bottleneck that has limited dexterous manipulation, allowing robots to perform tasks previously possible only with human hands.
- The company demonstrated the system on both Intel and NVIDIA hardware and is building a massive “human skill library” from egocentric video and internet footage to train the model.
Using QNX OS, the system incorporates dynamic safety in real-time. The system responds immediately and deterministically anytime an object or person enters its path of motion. QNX will be showing high-performance motion replication on Intel and NVIDIA hardware. Powered by high-performance Intel and NVIDIA hardware, this demonstration uses AI-based pose detection to precisely replicate human gestures.
Visitors can interact directly with the system and watch an on‑screen avatar mirror their motions. This will showcase how QNX supports real‑time, low‑latency performance on advanced platforms used in humanoid and AI‑enabled robots.
QNX to launch architecture benchmark report On the show floor, QNX will present interactive demonstrations illustrating how RTOS translates AI‑driven decisions into precise, reliable physical actions. Visitors will also learn how its software can scale from low‑cost prototypes to production‑grade commercial robots. This enables developers to build systems that can operate alongside humans safely and predictably.
In addition, QNX President John Wall will participate in the opening keynote panel, “Building the Next Era of Robot Autonomy.”
Robots are increasingly moving beyond enclosed industrial settings into shared human environments. This session will explore how safety, security, and real‑time performance must be engineered into systems from the start.
