LG will integrate Nvidia artificial intelligence technology into its humanoid robot development and plans to unveil a next-generation bipedal humanoid in the first quarter of next year. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding at Nvidia headquarters in Santa Clara, California. The robot will use Nvidia’s Jetson Thor along with Isaac GR00T and the Halos for Robotics safety system. The partnership also covers robot data and AI factory projects, plus mobility platforms based on Nvidia Drive Hyperion.

South Korea\'s government said it will accelerate a mega project, with 353 trillion won in investments set to begin this year through construction starts or facility expansions. President Lee Jae-myung called for parallel procedures, shorter timelines and regulatory improvements, and ordered steps to enable early use of the Gwangju military airport site as a semiconductor industrial complex. The plan also detailed power and water supply schedules and expanded support measures for robots, parts suppliers and smaller firms.
