Koo Kwang-mo, chairman of LG Group, is set to visit Nvidia's headquarters in Silicon Valley next week to meet with CEO Jensen Huang. This meeting comes two months after their encounter in Seoul on June 8.
According to industry sources on August 6, Koo's visit to Silicon Valley marks his first trip to the area in four months since April.
The two executives previously met on June 5 at LG Group's headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, where they held a private discussion for about an hour. They expressed their intention to expand collaboration across various fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, and autonomous driving.
Following their meeting, Koo stated, "We didn't have enough time to discuss details today, but we talked about inviting him to California next time. I plan to discuss more collaboration when I go there."
Industry insiders expect that the upcoming meeting will address specific investment and collaboration scales, as well as timelines for technology development.
In June, the two companies agreed to jointly develop reference robots based on Nvidia's open-source robotics foundation model, Isaac GR00T.
Additionally, LG is advancing its data center cooling solutions, including a coolant distribution unit (CPU), and enhancing mobility AI systems that incorporate autonomous driving.
LG Electronics is expected to engage in strategic collaboration throughout the entire process of Nvidia's next-generation robot development.
