Cooperation between LG Electronics and NVIDIA in physical AI and robotics is expected to gain further momentum.

The move comes as Madison Huang, senior director of product marketing for NVIDIA Omniverse and Robotics, visits South Korea to tour a key hub of LG Electronics’ robotics business, shortly after LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and NVIDIA Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang met at NVIDIA’s headquarters in the United States.

According to Yonhap News and others on the 17th, Huang is expected to visit the Data Factory that LG Electronics is building at its Yangjae R&D Campus in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 18th and hold closed-door talks on partnership issues with senior LG Electronics officials.

The meeting will take place at the Data Factory, which LG Electronics is developing as a core infrastructure for humanoid robot intelligence. The Data Factory is a robot training facility that teaches robots motion experience data in environments modeled after real-life settings such as homes and factories.

The talks come four days after Huang and Koo met on the 13th local time at NVIDIA’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for strategic business cooperation.

Under the MOU, LG Electronics is developing a bipedal humanoid robot based on NVIDIA’s platform, with a target for unveiling in the first quarter of next year.

The robot is expected to be equipped with Jetson Thor, NVIDIA’s robotics chip module, and developed based on Isaac Groot, NVIDIA’s humanoid foundation model, as well as NVIDIA Halos, its robotics safety system.
