LG and Nvidia have formed a strategic alliance to take the lead in the Physical AI era. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for strategic business cooperation on August 13 (local time) at the Nvidia headquarters in Santa Clara, California, the United States, with top executives from both companies in attendance, including LG Representative Koo Kwang-mo and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

This confirms specific execution plans just two months after their meeting held in Seoul in June. The core of this cooperation lies in establishing global standards in three major fields: robots, AI factories, and mobility.

Representative Koo Kwang-mo emphasized, “As the collaboration between the two companies accelerates, the tasks we will work on together have become clear,” adding, “We will accelerate the spread of AI by building industry-leading references.”

CEO Jensen Huang also responded that the combination of LG’s manufacturing leadership and Nvidia’s technology will bring forward the era of robots and autonomous vehicles.

The most immediately visible achievement is in the robotics sector. LG is developing a bipedal robot based on Nvidia’s humanoid foundation model, ‘Isaac GR00T,’ with the goal of unveiling it in the first quarter of next year. This robot will be equipped with Nvidia’s ‘Jetson Thor’ computing platform for highly advanced inference and control.

The capabilities of LG affiliates will be fully mobilized for the production of the robot. The policy is to secure competitiveness at the ‘One LG’ level by gathering core component technologies such as actuators from LG Electronics, sensors from LG Innotek, and batteries from LG Energy Solution. In addition, the company plans to deploy the wheel-based ‘LG CLOi’ to a washing machine factory in Tennessee, the United States, within the year to begin verification in an actual manufacturing environment, and expand its application range to homes and commercial spaces in the future.

The ‘AI factory’ business for building AI infrastructure is also accelerating. The two companies will introduce an integrated solution that combines LG’s cooling, power, and IT technologies with Nvidia’s DSX architecture. They plan to first build a reference site based on the next-generation AI platform ‘Vera Rubin’ in the first half of 2027, and expand it into an 80MW AI factory in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, in the first half of 2028.

In particular, the Cheonan AI factory will introduce a Prefab modular design method that can shorten the construction period by more than 20%. LG’s strategy is to strengthen its order competitiveness by proposing package solutions encompassing everything from design to operation to global big tech customers, based on the operational know-how secured through this.

In the mobility field, the company will step forward to develop a next-generation AIDV (AI Defined Vehicle) platform utilizing Nvidia’s ‘Drive Hyperion’ platform. This is a strategic move to expand the scope of its vehicle component business, which previously centered on in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), into the autonomous driving sector.

LG plans to commercialize a high-performance computing (HPC) platform by combining Nvidia’s AI autonomous driving technology with its own vehicle software capabilities.

The two companies decided to operate a joint task force consisting of technology and business experts to increase the execution power of their cooperation.
