  "summary": "LG and Nvidia have signed a new memorandum of understanding to expand their partnership into humanoid robots, AI factories, and autonomous vehicles. The collaboration aims to develop a next-generation bipedal humanoid robot that will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2027, incorporating Nvidia's Jetson Thor and Isaac GR00T model for onboard computing and reasoning. LG plans to deploy this robot at its washing machine manufacturing facility in Tennessee before the end of 2026, using LG's PhysicalWorks platform for data collection and synthetic-data generation. Additionally, the partnership extends to autonomous vehicles, with LG developing a high-performance platform for AI-Defined Vehicles using Nvidia DRIVE Hyperion. The companies aim to create an AI factory reference site and an 80MW LG AI Factory in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, scheduled for completion in the first half of 2028.",
