NVIDIA has partnered with Cadence, Dassault Systèmes, Siemens, PTC, and Synopsys to embed autonomous AI agents, Nemotron models, and Omniverse digital twin simulations into industrial design, semiconductor engineering, and physical manufacturing.
Foxconn has partnered with NVIDIA and leading medical centers in Taiwan to implement coordinated agentic artificial intelligence and physical assistance robots across hospital wards and clinical administration.
Part of the Healthy Taiwan initiative, the project replaces disconnected digital tools with unified autonomous systems that reduce clinical workload and patient wait times.
At GTC 2026, NVIDIA announced a suite of open physical-AI models and simulation frameworks engineered to transition healthcare robotics from passive computer vision to spatial reasoning and autonomous physical action.
The platform equips surgical instruments and hospital service robots with the ability to perceive complex medical environments and assist clinical staff safely.
Perplexity has introduced Portable Computer, a local-first version of its agentic platform that allows users to run autonomous research and task workflows entirely on their own desktop hardware.
By executing orchestration, models, and tools locally, the software keeps confidential documents secure on the device while eliminating cloud token billing fees.
