Caterpillar, NVIDIA expand AI across machines, jobsites at CES 2026
At CES 2026, Caterpillar announced a significant expansion of its artificial intelligence strategy centered on Cat AI, aiming to integrate AI directly into its machines, software, and factories. Partnering with NVIDIA, Caterpillar will leverage NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor platform to enable real-time, on-device AI processing for construction, mining, and power equipment. This local processing allows machines to analyze sensor data without constant cloud connectivity, enhancing autonomous capabilities and operator support through personalized insights, real-time coaching, productivity recommendations, and safety alerts. Cat AI also supports large-scale autonomy, enabling machines to navigate complex job-site environments by processing vast amounts of data rapidly. Caterpillar introduced the Cat AI Assistant, a voice-enabled interface integrated into its digital platforms and onboard systems, allowing operators to interact with equipment and operational data hands-free. Powered by NVIDIA’s Riva speech models and Caterpillar’s Helios data platform, the assistant provides accurate, context-specific responses for machine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Beyond equipment, Cat

Humanoid, a London-based robotics company founded in 2024, has introduced its first humanoid bipedal robot, the HMND 01 Alpha Bipedal, developed from design to working prototype in just five months. Remarkably, the robot achieved stable walking within 48 hours after final assembly. Standing 179 cm tall with 29 degrees of freedom and a bimanual payload capacity of 15 kg, Alpha Bipedal is equipped with advanced sensors including six RGB cameras, depth sensors, a microphone array, and haptic and force sensors. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX and Intel i9 processors, it offers three hours of swappable battery life. The robot can perform a variety of movements such as walking on straight and curved paths, turning, sidestepping, squatting, hopping, running, and precise manipulation, and it can interact with people and coordinate with other robots. Humanoid utilized ultra-precise 3D modeling and NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim

NVIDIA recently introduced the Jetson AGX Thor, a powerful AI and robotics developer kit designed to deliver supercomputer-level artificial intelligence performance within a compact, energy-efficient module consuming up to 130 watts. The Jetson Thor provides up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute, enabling robots and machines to perform advanced “physical AI” tasks such as perception, decision-making, and control in real time directly on the device, without dependence on cloud computing. This capability addresses a major challenge in robotics by supporting multi-AI workflows that facilitate intelligent, real-time interactions between robots, humans, and the physical environment. The Jetson Thor is powered by the comprehensive NVIDIA Jetson software platform, which supports popular AI frameworks and generative AI models, ensuring compatibility across NVIDIA’s broader software ecosystem—from cloud to edge. This includes tools like NVIDIA Isaac for robotics simulation and development, NVIDIA Metropolis for vision AI, and Holoscan for real-time processing. The module’s high-performance

RealSense, now an independent company, is strengthening its collaboration with NVIDIA, a partnership previously limited due to RealSense’s former ownership by Intel. This collaboration centers on the new RealSense D555 depth camera, which features the v5 Vision Processor with on-chip Power over Ethernet, a global shutter, integrated IMU, and native ROS 2 support. The D555 enables direct streaming into NVIDIA’s Holoscan platform for ultra-low-latency sensor fusion and real-time computing, enhancing obstacle avoidance, safe human-robot interaction, and navigation for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and humanoids. The integration leverages NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor platform, powered by the Blackwell GPU architecture, delivering up to 2070 teraflops of AI performance with significantly improved energy efficiency compared to its predecessor, Jetson Orin. This allows robotics developers to run large-scale generative AI models and advanced perception pipelines at the edge. The partnership offers three main benefits: accelerated simulation-to-deployment
