Madison Huang, the eldest daughter of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and a chief of staff-like aide, as well as senior director of product marketing for NVIDIA Omniverse and Robotics, will visit LG Electronics’ robot Data Factory. Less than a week after Koo Kwang-mo, chairman of the LG Group, signed a memorandum of understanding on strategic business cooperation with CEO Huang at NVIDIA’s headquarters in the United States on the 13th local time, she is expected to meet senior LG robotics officials, accelerating cooperation between the two companies on humanoid robots.
According to industry sources on the 17th, the senior director will visit the Data Factory that LG Electronics is building at its LG R&D campus in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 18th. There, she will hold closed-door talks on the partnership with senior LG Electronics officials.
The Data Factory is a facility LG Electronics has built in South Korea to train humanoid robots. It can be seen as a kind of robot training center, where robots learn motion experience data in environments designed to resemble real life, such as homes and factories.
LG Electronics is developing a bipedal humanoid robot with NVIDIA, aiming to unveil it in the first quarter of next year. The robot will be equipped with NVIDIA’s robotics chip, Jetson Thor, and is expected to be developed based on NVIDIA’s humanoid foundation model, Isaac GR00T.
The senior director is leading cooperation between LG and NVIDIA in the field of Physical AI. In April, she met with Ryu Jae-cheol, CEO of LG Electronics, at LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, to discuss ways to collaborate on Physical AI. She also attended the so-called second Kkanbu meeting in June, when CEO Huang visited South Korea and met with major business leaders, including Koo.
