LG and Nvidia formalise humanoid and vehicle-compute collaboration

Organisations: LG Group and Nvidia. Status: memorandum of understanding; next-generation bipedal robot targeted for Q1 2027 unveiling.

The companies said LG intends to use Nvidia’s Isaac GR00T foundation model and Jetson Thor platform in a next-generation humanoid. They are also collaborating on wheeled robots and high-performance vehicle computing. The programme builds on a partnership publicly discussed in June.

Why it matters and impact: The partnership connects motors, mechanics, on-device compute, simulation and robot foundation models. It is pre-product: safety certification, task reliability, commercial pricing and deployment scale have not been demonstrated.
