LG to Unveil Its Next-Gen Humanoid Robot, Built on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T - PR Newswire

LG and NVIDIA have deepened their collaboration to develop a next-generation humanoid robot powered by NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T open reasoning humanoid foundation model. This move marks a shift from strat... Read original →

LG’s collaboration with NVIDIA signals a decisive shift toward AI-powered robotics and intelligent hardware ecosystems. Leveraging Isaac GR00T, LG is set to develop next-gen humanoid platforms, driving demand for semiconductor chips, AI inference engines, and edge computing solutions. This move pressures upstream players like TSMC and Qualcomm to accelerate AI-optimized process development. NVIDIA DSX and DRIVE Hyperion will redefine LG’s smart factory and autonomous vehicle strategies, creating an end-to-end AI infrastructure stack. Geopolitical tensions, especially in U.S.-China tech rivalry, may intensify scrutiny over chip and software licensing. Competitors such as Toyota, Honda, and Tesla are likely to accelerate in-house AI chip and robotics R&D. Within 12–24 months, AI factories are expected to become major semiconductor investment drivers, while humanoid robot commercialization may advance to 2026, triggering a new wave of technological and market convergence.
