Nvidia and LG Group have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at building what they’re calling an “AI factory,” a partnership that spans humanoid robotics, autonomous driving, and data center development. The announcement came on June 7-8, following earlier discussions between the two companies in late April.
What the partnership actually looks like
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo discussed several concrete areas during their meetings, including motor technology development and the architecture of future data centers.
On the robotics front, LG Electronics is developing a home robot called CLoiD. The company is also building what it describes as a physical AI data factory that runs on Nvidia’s Cosmos platform. LG wants to train robots in simulated environments before deploying them in the real world, and Nvidia’s software makes that possible at scale.
Nvidia’s technology stack for this partnership includes its Isaac Sim simulation platform and DSX platform, both integrated with LG’s existing systems. Isaac Sim lets developers build and test robotic applications in photorealistic virtual environments, which dramatically cuts the cost and time of physical prototyping.
