LG Electronics accelerates robotics collaboration with Nvidia
Data collected across various environments such as LG’s Data Factory and LG CNS’s logistics automation solutions will be linked with Nvidia’s robotics stack, where it is augmented and synthesized into high-quality data for robot learning.
South Korea’s LG Electronics has announced that it is accelerating its robotics collaboration with Nvidia. The announcement comes days after the LG Group and Nvidia signed an MOU for strategic collaboration on future business initiatives, according to a media release.
LG’s Data Factory features training spaces where robots practice a range of tasks, as well as dedicated areas for validating and refining the resulting data sets. There is a replicated home environment where LG CLOiD learns and repeats cleaning tasks, and a simulated manufacturing space — modeled on LG's washing machine plant in Tennessee — where LG CLOiD units move, stack and assemble a variety of parts.
The robots are also being deployed in LG CNS’s logistics automation solutions and in a space where LG Innotek trains robotic hands. Data collected across these environments will be linked with Nvidia’s robotics stack, where it is augmented and synthesized into high-quality data for robot learning, LG said.
For LG, the core competitiveness of physical AI is its ability to help build a "data flywheel," where high-quality data is repeatedly secured and then used to train and continuously improve robots, the company said.
“Through the synergy built on 'One LG' – bringing together core capabilities across the Group — and strategic collaboration with global partners, we will secure our competitiveness in physical AI and become a comprehensive robotics solutions provider,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, CEO of LG Electronics.
