The wave of innovation driven by generative AI is sweeping the globe, and AI’s capabilities are gradually extending from language understanding and visual recognition to action intelligence closer to real-world applications. This change makes physical AI, which integrates “perception, reasoning, and action,” the next important threshold for robotics and smart manufacturing. To help Taiwanese industries grasp this multimodal trend, EDOM Technology will hold the “AI ×Multimodal Robotics: New Era of Industrial Intelligence Seminar” on December 3, showcasing NVIDIA Jetson Thor, the ultimate platform for physical AI and robotics, and featuring insights from ecosystem partners who will share innovative applications spanning smart manufacturing, autonomous machines, and education.
As AI technology rapidly advances, robotics is shifting from the traditional perception and response model to a new stage where they can autonomously understand and participate in complex tasks. The rise of multimodal AI enables machines to simultaneously integrate image, voice, semantic, and spatial information, making more precise judgments and actions in the real world, making it possible to “know what to do” and “know how to do it.” As AI capabilities extend from the purely digital realm to the real world, physical AI has become a core driving force for industrial upgrading.
Multimodal × Physical AI: The Next Key Turning Point in Robotics
The seminar focuses on the theme of “Physical AI Driving the Intelligent Revolution of Robotics”, explores how AI, through multimodal perception and autonomous action capabilities, is reshaping the technical architecture and application scenarios of human-machine collaboration. Through technical sharing and case analysis, the seminar will help companies grasp the next turning points of smart manufacturing.
This event will focus on NVIDIA Jetson Thor and its software ecosystem, providing a panoramic view of future-oriented multimodal robotics technology. The NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform combines high-performance GPUs, edge computing, and multimodal understanding to complete perception, inference, decision-making, and action planning all at the device level, significantly improving robot autonomy and real-time responsiveness. Simultaneously, the platform is deeply integrated with NVIDIA Isaac, NVIDIA Metropolis, and NVIDIA Holoscan, creating an integrated development environment from simulation, verification, and testing to deployment, thus accelerating the implementation of intelligent robots and edge AI solutions. NVIDIA Jetson Thor also supports LLM, visual language models (VLMs), and various generative AI models, enabling machines to interpret their surroundings, interact, and take action more naturally, becoming a core foundation for advancing physical AI.
In addition to the core platform analysis, the event features multiple demonstrations and exchange sessions. These includes a showcase of generative AI-integrated robotic applications, highlighting the latest capabilities of the model in visual understanding and action collaboration; an introduction to the ecosystem built by EDOM, sharing cross-field cooperation experiences from education and manufacturing to hardware and software integration; and a hands-on technology experience zone, where attendees can see the practical applications of NVIDIA Jetson Thor in edge AI and multimodal technology.
From technical analysis to industry exchange, Cross-field collaboration reveals new directions for smart machines:
- Analyses of the core architecture of NVIDIA Jetson Thor and the latest developments in multimodal AI by NVIDIA experts.
- Case studies on how Nexcobot introduces AI automation in smart manufacturing.
- Ankang High School, which achieved excellent results at the 2025 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) World Championship, showcases how AI and robotics courses can cultivate students’ interdisciplinary abilities in education.
- Insights into LLM and VLM applications in various robotic tasks given by Avalanche Computing.
Furthermore, EDOM will introduce its system integration approaches and deployment cases powered by NVIDIA IGX Orin and NVIDIA Jetson Thor, presenting the complete journey of edge AI technology from simulation to application implementation.
The event will conclude with an expert panel. Featuring leading specialists, the discussion covers collaboration, challenges, and international trends brought by multimodal robotics, helping industries navigate and anticipate the next phase of smart machine innovation.
Driven by physical AI and multimodal technologies, smart machines are entering a new phase of growth. The “AI × Multimodal Robotics: New Era of Industrial Intelligence Seminar” will not only showcase the latest technologies but also aim to connect the supply chain in Taiwan, enabling the manufacturing and robotics industries to seize opportunities in multimodal AI. The event will take place on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at the Taipei Fubon International Convention Center, with registration and demonstration beginning at 12:30 PM. Enterprises and developers focused on AI, robotics, and smart manufacturing are welcome to join and stay at the forefront of multimodal technology.
