LG Electronics is accelerating its robotics collaboration with NVIDIA by leveraging LG’s decades of manufacturing expertise and NVIDIA’s physical AI and robotics technologies. Senior officials from both companies recently reviewed LG’s new Data Factory under construction at the Yangjae R&D Campus in Seoul, South Korea, which is scheduled to become fully operational by the end of 2026.
LG’s Data Factory uses self-developed LG CLOiD™ home robots to collect and learn from real-world data across home, manufacturing and logistics environments. The facility includes a replicated home environment, a simulated LG washing machine manufacturing space based on the Tennessee plant, LG CNS logistics automation solutions and LG Innotek robotic-hand training areas. The collected data will be integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA Cosmos and NVIDIA Isaac to create high-quality robot-learning data.
By the end of 2026, LG expects to generate and synthesize 100,000 hours of training data, equivalent to around 12 years of data, to advance its Robot Foundation Model (RFM) for humanoid robots. Lyu Jae-cheol, CEO of LG Electronics, said the company aims to strengthen its competitiveness in physical AI and become a comprehensive robotics solutions provider through the synergy of One LG and strategic partnerships with global technology leaders.
