LG Electronics (LG) today announced that it is accelerating its robotics collaboration with NVIDIA. LG hosted senior NVIDIA officials at its Data Factory, currently under construction at the company’s Yangjae R&D Campus in Seoul, to review the direction of the two companies’ collaboration and discuss ways to generate further synergies.
LG Group and NVIDIA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for strategic collaboration on future business initiatives at NVIDIA’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California, on August 13 (local time). Reconvening just four days later at LG’s Data Factory signals that the two companies intend to move quickly to solidify the strategic cooperation and speed up commercialization of the robotics business.
Officials from both companies also reviewed the current status of LG’s Data Factory, which is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of the year. LG has deployed its self-developed, field-proven LG CLOiD™ home robots at scale to generate, collect and learn from data.
The LG’s Data Factory features training spaces where robots practice a range of tasks, as well as dedicated areas for validating and refining the resulting data sets. There is a replicated home environment where LG CLOiD learns and repeats cleaning tasks, and a simulated manufacturing space – modeled on LG’s washing machine plant in Tennessee – where LG CLOiD units move, stack and assemble a variety of parts. The robots are also being deployed in LG CNS’s logistics automation solutions and in a space where LG Innotek trains robotic hands. Data collected across these environments will be linked with NVIDIA’s robotics stack, where it is augmented and synthesized into high-quality data for robot learning.
For LG, the core competitiveness of physical AI is its ability to help build a
