NVIDIA: Physical AI Enters Golden Era, to Deepen Cooperation with Samsung, SK Hynix and Others

According to Yonhap News Agency, at the "NVIDIA AI Day Seoul 2026" held on November 9, NVIDIA stated that as agent AI accelerates robot development, training, and deployment, physical AI is entering a golden era of growth and will become a key direction for the next phase of the AI industry. Deepu Talla, vice president of NVIDIA’s Robotics and Edge AI Business, noted that robot development involves three core stages: model training, simulation, and real-world deployment. NVIDIA will deliver end-to-end technical support for robot development—covering training, testing, and implementation—via computing platforms including DGX, RTX, and Jetson, as well as Omniverse digital twin technology. In the South Korean market, NVIDIA is partnering with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to build digital twins of semiconductor factories using Omniverse for equipment and production process monitoring; with Hyundai Motor Group to train robots through digital twins, with simulation speeds reaching hundreds of thousands times real time; and with LG Electronics to leverage the GR00T platform to train its CLOiD robot to perform object grasping and handling tasks. Furthermore, NVIDIA announced a collaboration with Kakao Mobility to develop South Korea’s Level 4 autonomous driving system. The plan integrates NVIDIA’s Hyperion automotive sensor and computing platform, plus Halos safety verification technology, into Kakao Mobility’s autonomous driving software, with initial development based on Kia PBV purpose-built vehicles.
