Nvidia, the leading maker of artificial-intelligence chips, is spotlighting robotics and physical AI as the industry's next major growth arena. Company executives argue that autonomous machines and factory robots could create a market measured in the trillions of dollars in the years ahead.

Nvidia plans to underpin that vision with its next-generation processors and robotics software platforms. Analysts say the company aims to extend its dominance in data centres into machines operating in the real world.

Investors are watching whether the theme broadens beyond Nvidia's own shares to sensor, automation and component suppliers. Some experts caution, however, that expectations for the robotics market remain early-stage, and that revenue will need to catch up with the forecasts before the story is proven.
