Nvidia and LG partner to build global AI factory

Nvidia and LG Group have announced a strategic partnership to build a new AI factory that will serve as the foundation for LG’s next-generation businesses in robotics, autonomous driving, data center technologies, and GPU cloud services. The collaboration combines NVIDIA’s full-stack AI infrastructure with LG’s global expertise in consumer electronics, industrial systems, and mobility solutions, aiming to set new standards in physical AI and smart manufacturing.

The AI factory will integrate AI model development, robot simulation, edge deployment, and digital twins into a unified workflow. LG Electronics is developing home-based robots like CLoiD, designed to assist with household tasks, and will use Nvidia’s Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab frameworks to simulate and validate these robots in virtual environments. The companies also plan to leverage Isaac GR00T, a reasoning vision-action language model, to give robots humanlike reasoning and task execution abilities.

To address the challenge of training data, LG Electronics is building a physical AI data factory that will generate high-quality datasets for robotics and industrial AI projects, using Nvidia’s Cosmos world foundation models for synthetic data augmentation. LG Innotek will contribute advanced sensing solutions optimized for Nvidia’s GPU architecture, while LG CNS will integrate NVIDIA’s robotics technologies into its PhysicalWorks platform, accelerating AI adoption in manufacturing and logistics.

Beyond robotics, the partnership extends to next-generation AI infrastructure. LG Electronics and LG Energy Solution are collaborating with Nvidia on liquid-cooled AI factory designs, aligned with the Nvidia DSX platform, to deliver scalable and energy-efficient supercomputing systems. LG Uplus plans to build large-scale AI data centers powered by Nvidia GPUs, while LG Energy Solution explores 800V DC energy solutions to support next-generation GPU environments.

In mobility, LG Electronics is aligning its advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle AI with the Nvidia DRIVE platform, supporting autonomous driving and software-defined vehicles. LG Innotek will provide next-generation sensing and connectivity components engineered for NVIDIA architectures, strengthening its role in the autonomous driving market.

The collaboration also includes work on EXAONE, Korea’s sovereign AI model developed by LG AI Research. Using Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs, NeMo framework, and Nemotron datasets, EXAONE is being expanded across LG’s businesses, including enterprise chatbot services like ChatEXAONE. Nvidia’s infrastructure will help LG accelerate enterprise AI transformation and productivity across its portfolio.
