NVIDIA Partners Bring Physical AI, New Smart City Technologies to Dublin, Ho Chi Minh City, Raleigh and More
Summary: Bentley Systems, Deloitte, Esri, Linker Vision and Milestone Systems are among the companies showcasing their physical AI advancements at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona this week.
The NVIDIA Blueprint for smart city AI — announced in June at NVIDIA GTC Paris — combines digital twins with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, synthetic data generation, AI model training with vision language models ( VLMs ) and video analytics AI agents using the NVIDIA Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS). These work together in a single, streamlined workflow, enabling rapid simulation of real-world urban conditions, vast sensor integration and real-time vision AI. Updates to the blueprint include new NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation models and VLMs to generate photorealistic synthetic data and provide physical reasoning capabilities, as well as the latest version of the VSS blueprint — part of the NVIDIA Metropolis platform for training and building vision AI agents and applications.
