NVIDIA and LG Group Build AI Factory for Robotics and Mobility

NVIDIA and South Korea’s LG Group announced a sweeping strategic partnership to build an AI factory ecosystem spanning robotics, autonomous driving, data centers, and GPU cloud services. The collaboration, formalized during a meeting between NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo in Seoul, positions the two companies to jointly develop humanoid robots, advanced manufacturing systems, and next-generation AI infrastructure.nvidia

“We are working with them in motor technology as well as mechanical systems so that we can bring together humanoid robotics and the future of robotics,” Huang told reporters after the meeting on Monday.ndtvprofit

A Full-Stack AI Factory

The AI factory will integrate AI model development, robot simulation, synthetic data generation, edge deployment, and digital twins into a unified workflow. LG Electronics plans to use NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab frameworks to simulate, train, and validate robots in virtual environments before real-world deployment.firstpost

To address the shortage of high-quality robotics training data, LG is building a physical AI data factory to support both Korean and global robotics developers. The partnership also extends to AI infrastructure, with LG Electronics deepening work on cooling solutions and modular system designs aligned with NVIDIA’s DSX AI factory platform.ndtvprofit

Mobility and Autonomous Driving

In the mobility sector, the two firms plan to advance technologies spanning advanced driver-assistance systems, autonomous driving, and software-defined vehicles. The collaboration involves multiple LG subsidiaries including LG Electronics, LG Innotek, LG CNS, LG Uplus, and LG Energy Solution, reflecting the breadth of the conglomerate’s involvement.nvidia
