LG to unveil Nvidia-powered humanoid robot in Q1 next year

LG Group will showcase a humanoid robot powered by Nvidia's Isaac GR00T robot foundation model in the first quarter of the coming year. This partnership marks an expansion of LG's collaboration with the U.S. technology giant, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) data center and mobility ventures. During a recent meeting between LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the two signed a strategic business collaboration memorandum of understanding (MOU).

The event also saw the participation of several other LG Group executives, including Vice Chairman Kwon Bong-seok, CEO Lyu Jae-cheol, CEO Hong Bum-shik of LG Uplus, CEO Hyun Shin-gyoon of LG CNS, and others.

The MOU was signed just two months after top executives from both companies expressed their intention to cooperate in the AI industry. The agreement outlines specific areas of cooperation and details their plans in each domain. According to Koo, as their collaboration progresses, the tasks where the two companies can work together in the fields of AI factories, physical AI, and mobility will become clearer. The ultimate goal, as stated by Koo, is to accelerate the adoption of AI technologies across various industries.
