LG will unveil a bipedal humanoid robot in the first quarter of 2027, built on Nvidia’s Jetson Thor processor, Isaac GR00T foundation model and Halos safety system. The two signed the agreement at Nvidia’s Santa Clara headquarters on 13 August.
LG will show a bipedal humanoid robot in the first quarter of next year. The company signed an agreement with Nvidia at its Santa Clara headquarters on 13 August, with LG Corp chairman Kwang Mo Koo and Jensen Huang both present.
Nvidia is supplying the thinking parts. The robot runs Jetson Thor for onboard processing and motion control, uses the Isaac GR00T foundation model, and carries Halos, which Nvidia describes as the first full-stack safety framework built for robots.
LG is supplying the body, and that is the argument for why an appliance company belongs in this race. Actuators and sensors come from LG Electronics and LG Innotek, batteries from LG Energy Solution, so most of the bill of materials stays inside the group.
Something arrives before the humanoid does. LG will put CLOiD, its wheel-based robot, onto the production line at its washing machine plant in Tennessee by the end of 2026, feeding results into a data operation built on LG CNS’s PhysicalWorks platform that generates synthetic training sets alongside real ones.
