LG robots and nVidia AI: how are the two giants joining forces to conquer our living rooms?

LG Electronics and nVidia are shifting into high gear in the field of autonomous robotics. By combining the Korean company’s hardware expertise with the American company’s AI powerhouse, the two companies intend to establish their automata in industry, but above all in our homes.

To accelerate the development of its future mechanical assistants, LG Electronics is strengthening its ties with technology leaders. As part of an enhanced partnership between the two firms, the South Korean manufacturer recently welcomed nVidia executives to the heart of its new Data Factory, a huge testing center currently being built in Seoul.

 

LG robots trained for home and factory

It is in this facility, divided into several distinct zones, that the robots developed by LG will be trained, validated, and optimized. The LG CLOiD model will notably evolve there in a reproduction of a domestic environment in order to learn, for example, cleaning tasks. The same goes for an industrial environment where the robot will learn to stack and assemble components for the manufacture of washing machines.

 

 

nVidia artificial intelligence at every stage

In this learning process, nVidia's AI technologies are involved at every stage, from data preparation to deployment. As a reminder, after already establishing a strong presence in industrial robotics, LG now intends to conquer the domestic market.

 

“Physical AI” as a new growth driver

“By leveraging the synergies of ‘One LG,’ which brings together the key expertise across the group, as well as our strategic partnerships internationally, we will strengthen our competitiveness in the field of physical AI and position ourselves as a provider of integrated robotic solutions,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, CEO of LG Electronics.
