LG and NVIDIA are expanding their partnership across three of the biggest areas in tech right now: physical AI, AI infrastructure, and future mobility.
The companies announced the expanded collaboration after a top management meeting in Seoul attended by LG Chairman and CEO Kwang Mo Koo, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, and other senior executives. LG says the partnership is meant to combine NVIDIA’s AI technology with LG’s manufacturing experience, infrastructure capabilities, and global customer reach.
The robotics piece is the most interesting part for Clanks readers. LG and NVIDIA plan to work together on physical AI systems that connect artificial intelligence with machines operating in the real world. That includes smart factories, humanoid robots, logistics robots, and industrial automation platforms.
LG brings decades of manufacturing data and factory know-how. NVIDIA brings its Isaac robotics tools, Omniverse simulation technology, and Cosmos AI models. Together, the companies want to build more autonomous manufacturing systems where procurement, production, logistics, and delivery are connected through data and AI.
The companies also plan to work on NVIDIA’s GR00T robot foundation model. That signals a deeper push into robots that can learn, train in simulation, and eventually act in real work environments. LG says the cooperation will cover the full robotics pipeline, including data collection, simulation, training, and robot actions across humanoids and logistics robots.
LG Innotek is expected to play a major role by developing sensing modules and optical components for robots and NVIDIA AI infrastructure. LG wants to help build the eyes and ears for future machines.
LG CNS is also tying NVIDIA robotics tools into its industrial robot platform called PhysicalWorks. The goal is to make AI robots easier to deploy in manufacturing and logistics sites rather than keeping them trapped in custom pilot projects.
The partnership goes beyond robots. LG Electronics will work with NVIDIA on cooling systems for AI data centers, including coolant distribution units and cold plates. LG Energy Solution will develop 800-volt direct current power systems for next-generation AI factories, while LG CNS plans to use NVIDIA’s DSX AI factory reference design for future data centers. LG Uplus also plans to build large-scale AI infrastructure using NVIDIA Rubin GPUs.
On the mobility side, LG will connect its vehicle technology with NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion platform. That work includes advanced driver assistance systems, software-defined vehicles, in-vehicle infotainment, sensing components, communications modules, and automotive lighting systems.
The bigger picture is that LG is trying to position itself as more than a consumer electronics company. It wants to be part of the infrastructure behind AI-powered homes, factories, vehicles, robots, and data centers.
For NVIDIA, the deal puts its AI stack deeper into real-world industries. For LG, it is a chance to connect its manufacturing base, component businesses, energy systems, and electronics portfolio to the next wave of physical AI.
The future NVIDIA and LG are describing is not just smarter gadgets. It is factories that think, robots that train before they work, vehicles that act more like AI platforms, and data centers built like industrial engines for intelligence.
