Koo Kwang-mo, chairman of LG Group, and Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, met on June 8 at LG's headquarters in Yeouido, following a dinner on June 5, to explore collaboration on next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
After a one-hour meeting at LG Twin Tower, Koo stated, "Today, I had extensive discussions with CEO Jensen Huang about our future vision. We agreed that increased collaboration between our companies is essential to accelerate the AI era."
Koo added, "We didn't have enough time to delve into the details today, but Jensen mentioned he would invite us to California next time. I believe we can create more diverse collaboration opportunities in the future."
The primary area of cooperation between the two companies will be robotics. LG Electronics plans to expand its collaboration on humanoid and logistics robot development based on Nvidia's robotics platforms, including Isaac, GR00T, and Cosmos. Additionally, LG Innotek will develop high-performance sensing modules and optical components that serve as the eyes of robots, while LG CNS will integrate Nvidia's robotics technology into its industrial robot platform, Physical Works, enhancing AI collaboration across major subsidiaries.
Huang emphasized, "We are collaborating with LG in AI research, motor technology, and mechanical systems. We will implement future humanoid and next-generation robotic technologies together."
Collaboration in the data center sector, a critical infrastructure for the AI era, will also be strengthened. LG Electronics will work with Nvidia on certification for data center cooling solutions, including cooling distribution units (CDUs) and cold plates. They will also jointly develop prefabricated modular data center design technology aligned with Nvidia's Digital Twin Supercomputing Matrix (DSX) AI factory reference design.
Huang noted, "Current data centers are already massive facilities, reaching hundreds of megawatts (MW) in scale, but future data centers will evolve to gigawatt (GW) levels. Innovative technologies are needed across cooling technology, power supply technology, and overall data center design and construction, and LG possesses exceptional capabilities in these areas."
He further stated, "We are working like one giant team with LG, collaborating in all areas from robotics to AI factories."
