NVIDIA and LG Group Partner to Build AI Factory for Robotics, Autonomous Driving and Data Center Infrastructure

NVIDIA and LG Group announced a strategic collaboration to build an artificial intelligence factory designed to support the next generation of AI-powered businesses, including robotics, autonomous driving, data center technologies and cloud-based GPU services.

The AI factory will provide accelerated computing infrastructure for training, simulation, validation and deployment of AI applications across multiple LG Group business units. The initiative combines NVIDIA’s end-to-end AI factory platform with LG Group’s capabilities in consumer electronics, mobility technologies, industrial automation, smart spaces and energy infrastructure.

According to the companies, the project aims to create a unified workflow connecting AI model development, robot training, simulation environments, digital twins and edge deployment technologies to support the development of physical AI systems.

Focus on Robotics and Physical AI

A central component of the collaboration involves the advancement of robotics and AI-driven manufacturing.

The companies plan to combine LG’s manufacturing expertise and operational data from global production facilities with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure and digital twin technologies to develop more autonomous and data-driven manufacturing systems.

The initiative seeks to connect procurement, production, logistics and delivery operations through real-time data and AI technologies, supporting the development of next-generation smart factory environments.

LG Electronics is also expanding development of home-service robots, including its CLOi platform. The company plans to integrate NVIDIA Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Isaac Lab robotics frameworks to simulate, train and validate robots in virtual environments before deployment.

LG is also evaluating NVIDIA Isaac GR00T, a foundation model designed for humanoid and collaborative robots, which enables robots to reason and perform complex tasks through vision, language and action capabilities.

To address the challenge of generating training data for robotics systems, LG Electronics is developing a physical AI data factory that will use NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation models to create synthetic data for robotics and industrial AI applications.

Expanding AI Factory Infrastructure

The partnership extends beyond AI software and robotics into data center infrastructure and high-performance computing.

LG Electronics and NVIDIA are collaborating on technologies designed to support large-scale AI factories, including liquid-cooling systems, cooling distribution units (CDUs), cold plates and prefabricated modular infrastructure.

The project aligns with NVIDIA’s DSX AI factory architecture, which is designed to support scalable, high-performance AI computing environments.

Several LG Group affiliates are expected to participate in the initiative.

LG Uplus plans to develop large-scale AI data center capabilities capable of supporting the latest NVIDIA GPU platforms, while LG CNS intends to build AI factory infrastructure powered by NVIDIA GPUs.

Meanwhile, LG Energy Solution is collaborating with NVIDIA on next-generation energy technologies for AI data centers, including 800-volt direct-current power solutions designed to meet increasing energy demands from advanced computing systems.

Collaboration on Autonomous Driving

The partnership also includes cooperation in autonomous driving and software-defined vehicle technologies.

LG Electronics plans to align its advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle AI platforms with NVIDIA DRIVE technologies. The companies will focus on integrating sensor, computing and software architectures to support future autonomous mobility applications.

According to the announcement, LG Electronics also intends to deploy NVIDIA DRIVE AGX accelerated computing platforms in future mobility solutions, including AI-enabled vehicle cockpits and edge AI systems.

LG Innotek is expected to contribute sensing, connectivity and lighting technologies optimized for NVIDIA’s automotive computing architecture.

Supporting Korea’s Sovereign AI Development

The collaboration also includes support for EXAONE, LG AI Research’s flagship sovereign AI model.

LG AI Research has utilized NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, NVIDIA NeMo and NVIDIA Nemotron technologies to develop and optimize EXAONE. The model is available to developers, enterprises and researchers and is being integrated into LG Group’s internal AI ecosystem through services such as ChatEXAONE.

The companies said the initiative is intended to support broader enterprise AI adoption, software-defined operations and productivity improvements across LG Group’s global business portfolio.

The announcement reflects growing investment in AI infrastructure as companies seek to expand capabilities in robotics, manufacturing automation, mobility technologies and sovereign AI development.
