It’s my second year hunting robots at Nvidia GTC, and I met several for the first time.
Right when I entered the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, I was greeted by a small robot from IntBot working the crowd, powered by an AI chatbot and controlled by nearby humans for safety. Another larger IntBot robot was behind the information desk, giving directions in multiple languages.
Humanoid, a UK-based company, brought two of its wheeled HMND 01 Alpha robots for a demo of “fleet control,” a way for one person to command multiple robots with ease. I ordered a drink and a snack via a touchscreen, and the robots got busy at the same time, one grabbing my drink and the other grabbing my snack.

This demo was a very simple proof-of-concept for something that several players in the robotics industry are working on simultaneously. The ability to activate multiple robots with a single command will certainly be useful for people working closely with them. However, it also conjures fears of a robotic army and the mayhem they might cause.
Noble Machines brought its bulky Moby 3 robot, designed to lift and carry up to 50 pounds. Its demo was very similar to the one Boston Dynamics showed at CES earlier this year. The robot performed basic industrial tasks autonomously, and a teleoperator stood by with a VR headset to assist the robot whenever it encountered trouble. A nearby screen showed onlookers in real time whether the robot was operating autonomously or under operator control.

Moby 3 prioritizes cost-effectiveness, even using a $1 dog chew toy as its grippers instead of the more expensive and heavily engineered hands seen on other robots. The company says the grippers do everything they need them to do and make them cheaper and easier to replace when needed.
I also got to try out an OpenClaw AI assistant running on a DGC Spark, which was given added personality by a Reachy Mini Desktop robot that moved around while the AI agent read out its answers. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicted OpenClaw AI agents would make their way into robots in some form or another, and this seemed like a basic illustration of that.
Row level security in Power BI is mainly developed to restrict the data access and also secure them. In row level security, you will get a filter that restricts the data access only at the row level. With the help of row level security in Power BI, you can also define the filters along with roles. One more point to be remembered, if you are working with the Power BI tool, you should be very careful this is due to the Power BI services and members of BI workspace need to access the datasets within their workspaces. Row level security does not restrict this type of data access.
The advantage of using this Power BI enables you to configure the row level security for data models, then import them into the Power BI tool by using the Power BI desktop. Users can also configure this type of row level security on datasets which use Direct Query programs; SQL servers, and RDBMS. With the previous version of Power BI software, you were only able to implement row level security within the On-premises data analysis service model outside the power BI software tool. To perform data analysis you need to have live connections, and the security options will never show up the live connection data sets on-premises.
Defining roles and rules in row level security in Power BI desktop:
I think this is an important task; you should define the roles and rules within the Power Business Intelligence desktop. Then you also publish the definitions of the roles. This is an important task of the row level security in Power BI to define the data security roles. To perform this type of roles and rules, we have to follow the below steps:
The steps included are:
1. First you need to import your power business intelligence desktop –> then configure the Direct Query connection.
Point to remember: You can’t define the roles within the Power BI desktop for data analysis services using live connections. All you need to do is perform data analysis services within the analysis model.
2. Then select the Modelling tab.
3. Now you need to select the Manage Roles tab.
4. Then click on the “Create” button to create the new role.
5. It’s time to provide a name for your new role.
6. Now select the database table that you want to apply DAX rules in your database connection.
7. Users need to enter the DAX expressions. This type of expression should return a Boolean result (True or false).
For example: [Entity ID] = “value”.
Note: You should use the username () with the given expression. You should be very careful that while defining the username () consists of a format of DOMAIN username within the power Business intelligence desktop.
8. Once you have created the DAX expression-> then you need to select the Check box above the expression box to validate the Boolean expression.
Note: While defining the Boolean expression box, you have to use commas to separate the DAX functional arguments and also make use of semicolon separators.
9. Then finally click on the “Save” button.
Users can’t assign the roles within the Power Business Intelligence Desktop. Users are also able to define the dynamic security along with the Power business intelligence desktop by using the expressions like username () and userprincipalname () DAX function expression.
By default, row level security in the Power BI filter makes use of single-directional filters, and you can also set the relationships in a single-direction or bi-directional connection. You can manually make use of a bi-directional connection cross filter to select the relationship and check the “Apply row level security in both the directions” checkbox. And you have to check this box to implement dynamic row level security in BI at the server level, and where you can define the row level security is based on the user name and login ID.
How to validate the rules in Row level security in Power BI:
Once you are done with the creation of the role, you need to test the results of roles available within the Power Business intelligence desktop.
The following are the important steps involved to validate the rules used in Power BI:
The steps included are:
1. First you need to select the “view as roles” as shown in the below screenshot,
In the “View as roles” tab, you can also see the roles which you have created as shown below;
2. Now select the role which you have already created -> then click on the “OK” button to apply for the roles. Here the report renders the data relevant to define the roles.
3. Now you need to select the “other user” button -> then supply it for a given user. It’s always good to supply the user principal name (UPN) to define the Power BI service and Power BI report services use as shown below:
4. Then click on the “OK” button and report the data renders based on what you can see on the Power BI desktop.
Within the power business intelligence desktop, other users (Non –users you can also say) are able to display the different results suppose if you are working with dynamic security based on the DAX Boolean expressions.

How to manage row level security on your data model:
To manage the row level security on your data model, you have to follow the below steps:
The steps included are:
1. First you need to select the Ellipse (….) for the given data set.
2. Then click on the Security button. The below screenshot will explain this;
This will directly take you to the RLS page -> then you can add members to define the role created in your Power business desktop. Only the authorized owner of the given data set is eligible to see the security. Suppose if the dataset is available in the group, then only administrators of the group can see the security option.
You can only create or modify the row level security page on the Power BI desktop.
Working with members in row level security:
The following are the few steps included in performing this process:
1. You can add members to the roles in Power BI just by typing them in the email address, or provide the name of the user, security group details, and distribution list.
Note: you cannot add user groups that are created within the Power BI. So you should add the members external to your business organization.
The below screenshot will explain this;
2. You can also able to see how many members are parts of the roles in a given Power BI desktop with the given role name or next to members as shown below:
Remove members from roles:
You can also remove the members just by selecting the “X” next to the user name as shown below:
Validate the role within row level security in Power BI:
To validate the roles follow the below steps:
1. First you need to select the ellipse (…) button which is next to the role.
2. Select the test data as a role as shown below:
Now you can able to view the reports which are available for the role. Power BI dashboards are not presented in the view.
The below screenshot will explain this scenario:

Conclusion:
We can say that Row level security in power business intelligence is one of the powerful security features available for both desktop and cloud services. In recent times, one more tool also developed to offer a security service that is popularly known as Microsoft Azure- a child product of Microsoft corporations. With the help of this row level, security feature users can also modify or view the data sets in connections and also enable users to create roles to perform new or modify the already existing data sets in the database. All the modified data sets will be stored in Direct Query data sets. I think we have tried to cover up all the sections which are related to Row level security in Power BI. So this blog may help a few of you to access the secured data and also protect the business data for future purposes.
