Speaking Session

Robotics in the Wild: What’s Real, What’s Not and What’s Coming Next

Enterprise robotics is moving fast, driven by advancements in AI and accelerated by NVIDIA’s ecosystem. But what is working in production today, and what is still stuck in prototypes and labs? In this session, HCLTech will take a practical look at real-world AI-powered robotics deployments across industries. We will discuss how we transformed operations for one of the largest mining companies through simulations built on Omniverse, robots trained with Cosmos and Isaac Sim and video feeds processed with HCLTech IP alongside NVIDIA's Isaac robotics platform. We will share our learnings and perspectives on what is working, what is promising but not quite ready and where we are seeing the most momentum going into 2026.

Key Takeaways:

  • A field-level view of how enterprises are using NVIDIA’s robotics stack, including Jetson and Isaac
  • What has made it into production versus what remains experimental
  • Lessons learned from deployments in logistics, utilities, and manufacturing
  • Where digital twins and simulation are helping — and where they are not
  • Guidance for enterprises planning to scale robotics programs over the next year
