LG Electronics to train humanoid robots with Nvidia software
The robots will train in a simulated factory modeled on LG’s Tennessee washing machine plant.
Nvidia executive Madison Huang, the daughter of company CEO Jensen Huang, is set to visit LG Electronics' robotics hub in South Korea next week, according to industry sources. The visit, scheduled for Tuesday, will see Huang engage in private discussions with senior LG Electronics officials to explore potential partnerships. These talks are expected to be centered on AI infrastructure and robotics, with a primary focus on the latter.
The meeting will take place at LG Electronics' data factory, currently under construction in southern Seoul. This facility is part of LG's strategy to bolster the capabilities of humanoid robots by leveraging Nvidia's robotics platform. Last week, LG Electronics announced its plans to unveil a next-generation humanoid robot capable of bipedal walking in the first quarter of 2027, which will utilize Nvidia's robotics platform.
The agreement was signed by LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Nvidia's Jensen Huang at Nvidia's headquarters in Santa Clara, California.
