Nvidia unveils Cosmos 3 Edge AI model for robots during Jensen Huang Japan visit

According to CNBC, Nvidia unveiled Cosmos 3 Edge, a new AI model for robots and vision AI agents, as the company deepens its push into the physical AI market in Japan. The model is designed to help systems perceive and navigate physical environments in real time, and its rollout follows the launch of Cosmos 3 in May. Nvidia said the expansion comes as CEO Jensen Huang makes a two-day visit to Japan, where the company is building a coalition that local industrial groups, including Fujitsu, Hitachi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, intend to join. Huang said in a Wednesday statement that the next frontier of AI is in the physical world and called Japan a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Nvidia also said it is expanding into Japan's healthcare and biotechnology sectors through agentic AI initiatives for drug discovery and medical robotics, including the Tokyo-1 consortium operated by Xeureka, a Mitsui subsidiary.
