NEXCOM Unveils its First Embodied AI Builder on NVIDIA IGX Thor at NVIDIA GTC

The tool integrates real-time motion control, functional safety and high-speed connectivity to accelerate development of in-home humanoid robots

SAN FRANCISCO – March 16, 2026 – As the provider of functional safety and real-time motion control on the NVIDIA IGX Thor platform, NEXCOM announced the launch of its first humanoid robot builder kit based on NVIDIA IGX Thor at NVIDIA GTC this week. By combining the massive AI computing power of NVIDIA Blackwell architecture with NEXCOM’s proprietary robotics technologies, the company aims to help humanoid robot developers significantly accelerate their timeline to mass production.

In collaboration with NVIDIA, NEXCOM has introduced the MARS400 T20, built on the latest NVIDIA IGX Thor platform specifically designed for robotics. The platform supports a formidable computing power of up to 5,581 FP4 TFLOPS with additional RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q workstation edition. Through its modular design, it integrates NEXCOM’s self-developed real-time functional safety system, robot motion control system, and AI application software. To build a humanoid robot that is efficient, responsive and capable of natural, human-like movement, developers must navigate complex multi-platform integration. This involves AI computing, 5G/Wi-Fi high-speed communication, real-time motion control, mechanical thermal management and both functional safety and cybersecurity. Currently, developers often struggle with the time-consuming process of tuning hardware and software for a single function, let alone building a fully integrated, comprehensive system independently. 

With the rapid evolution of AI, the technology’s scope has quickly expanded to include physical and embodied AI, which are key to increased humanoid robot interaction with the real world. Since 2020, NEXCOM has spearheaded the certification process for robotic functional safety products. The company obtained the TÜV Rheinland certification in 2024, positioning NEXCOM as one of the few providers in the industry offering a one-stop robotic functional  safety solution. Its products comply with international functional safety standards EN 61508 and EN ISO 13849-1, providing robust safety and cybersecurity solutions tailored for AMRs, robotic dogs, wheeled robots, and humanoid robots.

NEXCOM also provides one-stop consultancy services, including humanoid wiring design, system thermal technologies, real-time motion communication, "brain-and-cerebellum" functional safety and cybersecurity integration and AI vision software. These comprehensive services empower robot OEMs to rapidly build high-performance, safety-first robots. 

The convergence of AI and robotics is rapidly reshaping industries. According to a 2025 report by Morgan Stanley, the global population of humanoid robots is projected to exceed 1 billion by 2050. However, this figure primarily refers to deployments in industrial and commercial sectors.

For robots to truly become "in-home robots," critical safety and privacy issues must be resolved. By deepening its collaboration with NVIDIA and leveraging its proprietary robotic safety technologies, NEXCOM remains committed to empowering the industry to accelerate the timeline for bringing safe humanoid robots into every home.
