LG Group and NVIDIA have announced an expanded strategic partnership covering physical AI and robotics, AI data center infrastructure, and autonomous driving systems. The agreement was formalized at a senior leadership meeting in Yeouido, Seoul, attended by LG Corp. Chairman and CEO Kwang Mo Koo, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, and executives from multiple LG subsidiaries.
The partnership is structured around three focus areas and spans seven LG Group companies.
On the physical AI and robotics front, LG will combine manufacturing data from its global production sites with NVIDIA’s Isaac, Omniverse, and Cosmos platforms to build AI-driven factory infrastructure. LG CNS is integrating NVIDIA’s Isaac robotics frameworks and GR00T foundation models into its industrial platform PhysicalWorks. LG Innotek will develop high-performance sensing modules and optical components for robots and NVIDIA AI systems. Both companies will also cooperate on advancing NVIDIA’s next-generation GR00T humanoid robot foundation model.
For AI factory infrastructure, LG Electronics will work with NVIDIA on thermal management solutions for data centers, including coolant distribution units and cold plates. LG Energy Solution is developing 800V direct current power solutions targeting improved energy efficiency. LG Uplus plans to build large-scale AI infrastructure using NVIDIA’s Rubin GPUs, while LG CNS will construct AI data centers following the NVIDIA DSX reference design.
In the automotive segment, LG Electronics will integrate its in-vehicle infotainment systems with NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion platform for next-generation ADAS development. LG Innotek will supply communication modules, sensing solutions, and automotive lighting components for the same architecture.
The agreement also covers LG AI Research’s EXAONE language model, which will use NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs alongside Nemotron and TensorRT-LLM tools to improve training efficiency and inference performance.
