LG and Nvidia have formalized a partnership that spans physical AI and data-center infrastructure. Under the agreement, LG will develop and launch a next-generation bipedal humanoid robot in Q1, built on Nvidia's Isaac GR00T foundation model and Jetson-class on-device compute. The robot will also integrate Nvidia's Halos for Robotics safety stack, positioning LG to compete at the high end of the embodied AI market. In parallel, LG will begin deploying a wheeled manufacturing robot called CLOiD at its Tennessee washing-machine plant, also powered by Isaac GR00T, moving robotics from bench to factory floor. On the infrastructure side, LG will build an AI data center at its Cheonan site in 2027, based on Nvidia's next-gen platform, with a demonstration site in 2026. This is a strategic pairing of LG's manufacturing and appliance reach with Nvidia's full-stack robotics and data-center reference architectures. The partnership covers humanoids, industrial robots, and the data factory layer needed to train and refine physical AI systems. It notably makes LG a major channel for Nvidia's physical AI stack into real-world manufacturing environments, a significant validation of Nvidia's robotics software ecosystem. The deal materially advances LG's physical AI ambitions, shifting its trajectory in the segment, though the humanoid itself won't ship until 2025. This is a meaningful, forward-looking collaboration that will have lasting effects on the robotics-as-a-service and physical AI market continuum.
