Advantech, a global developer of IoT systems and embedded platforms, is showcasing its latest artificial intelligence platforms at NVIDIA GTC 2026, which will be held from March 16 to 19 in San Jose, California.
In its announcement, Advantech said visitors to Booth #1134 and Meeting Rooms #6077 and #6078 will get to see its next-generation edge AI platforms powered by NVIDIA technologies, including NVIDIA Jetson Thor and NVIDIA IGX Thor.
The company will demonstrate how physical AI and edge AI technologies are being implemented in real-world settings across robotics, healthcare, logistics, and retail.
Ween Niu, general manager of Advantech North America, said that as AI technology evolves, the industry is increasingly shifting from cloud-based model training towards physical applications – often referred to as physical AI.
For robotics applications, Advantech will present its ASR-A702/AFE-A702 platforms built on NVIDIA Jetson Thor. These robotics-ready edge AI platforms are designed for the rapid integration of sensors and multi-camera systems.
According to the tech company, these systems work with Advantech Robotic Suite and NVIDIA Isaac ROS to enable object detection, distance estimation, and other key functions. The company will also highlight its MIC-742, which is designed to support the advanced humanoid robotics development.
For the healthcare sector, the exhibit will feature Advantech’s AIMB-294 medical AI board, which performs real-time surgical instrument anomaly detection and organ segmentation while consuming only 130W of power. The company is also presenting its NVIDIA IGX-powered USM-500 medical platform, which supports AI-assisted surgery, imaging analysis, and surgical guidance with hospital-grade reliability.
Visitors from the logistics and warehouse management industries will also get to see the company’s AIR-075, a visual AI platform that enables visual AI monitoring for safety and incident response. There is also the MIC-743 system, which offers advanced video search capabilities and real-time analytics to improve operational visibility and decision-making in logistics environments.
Retail applications will be demonstrated using the DS-015 edge AI system, which runs large language models directly on the device without needing cloud connectivity.
