How Many Computers Does Physical AI Need?

Jensen Huang says building a physical artificial intelligence platform takes three computers and three complete stacks, and he says it takes three robots as well. His company builds a complete stack for each of them and is the only company in the world that does that.

One computer creates the brain, the training system. Labs are also going to build a digital twin of the internet so agents learn how to use the internet without being sent out onto it. Omniverse is the twin for the physical world, a digital twin of warehouses, buildings, cities, and the physical world. The robot goes into the twin. The digital twin learns how to be a robot, and the result is then deployed into the last computer, the computer inside a robot, a car, or a surgical instrument.

A company that wants to build the platform end to end takes one of the computers, two, or all three. Jensen Huang says his company does not care which. Each computer has its own software stack, and the same approach runs across every vertical.
