Madison Huang, Senior Director at NVIDIA and daughter of CEO Jensen Huang, paid a visit to LG Electronics' robotics hub in South Korea on Tuesday. During her meeting with LG Electronics executives, discussions centered on expanding their collaborative efforts in artificial intelligence infrastructure and robotics technologies.
This engagement follows LG Electronics' announcement last week, revealing plans to introduce a next-generation bipedal humanoid robot in the first quarter of 2027, built upon the NVIDIA robotics platform. The Korean tech conglomerate had formalized this partnership by signing a memorandum of understanding at NVIDIA's Santa Clara headquarters in California, with LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Jensen Huang both present at the signing ceremony.
During Tuesday's tour, representatives from both companies inspected LG Electronics' robotics manufacturing facility in Seoul. The plant, currently under construction, is slated for full operational status by the end of this year. At present, the facility utilizes LG Electronics' proprietary humanoid robot, LG CLOiD, to generate, collect, and process data essential for AI training purposes.
NVIDIA's physical AI technologies, including the Omniverse library, Cosmos world foundation models, and the Isaac open-source robotics development platform, are being applied to the data acquisition and implementation phases of this collaboration.
