US EditionCaterpillar Teams With NVIDIA to Revolutionize Heavy Industry with Physical AI and Robotics
Cat AI uses Nvidia's Jetson Thor and Omniverse to aid operators with safety, scheduling, and data, sending 2,000 messages per second to enhance construction automation.
- On Wednesday at CES, Caterpillar showcased Cat AI, an onboard assist system built on Nvidia Jetson Thor that runs as a fleet of AI agents for on-machine help.
- Built on a growing partnership with Nvidia, Caterpillar is deepening AI and automation across its fleet, with Brandon Hootman saying the effort began to address real customer challenges.
- Designed for field use, Cat AI can answer machine operators' questions, provide resources, offer safety tips, and is piloted inside a mid-size Cat 306 CR Mini Excavator.
- Because machines send large volumes of data, Caterpillar machines transmit roughly 2,000 messages per second, enabling simulations and digital models that improve scheduling and planning workflows.
- Positioned within Nvidia's physical AI strategy, Caterpillar uses Omniverse digital twins for scheduling and material estimates, supporting Nvidia's full‑stack physical AI ecosystem outlined at CES keynote Monday.
