Korea Advances Physical AI Across Industries With NVIDIA

NVIDIA plays a crucial role in the further development of the physical AI ecosystem in Korea, leveraging the country's strengths in manufacturing and engineering. Key players in the industry, such as Samsung, Kakao Mobility, and LG Electronics, apply accelerated computing technology, artificial intelligence, and simulation across diverse sectors, ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to robotics and autonomous vehicles. These initiatives help drive the transition of physical AI from development to real production.

Samsung Electronics is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate innovations in semiconductor technology. By utilizing NVIDIA cuISS and cuDSS, Samsung speeds up calculations for technology in computer-aided design. Their sMOL platform has executed important quantum chemical calculations up to five times faster with NVIDIA cuEST. Additionally, Samsung is developing workflows for thermal and mechanical analysis on chips in conjunction with NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo, resulting in accelerated simulation capabilities.

Kakao Mobility is working with NVIDIA on the development of a level 4 autonomous driving system. By leveraging NVIDIA’s vehicle economy platform and safety technologies, they will integrate their own driving software with NVIDIA’s Hyperion, enabling them to support future mobility services in Korea. This initiative has been set up with Kia vehicles, allowing for further optimization of the collaboration.

Furthermore, NVIDIA and LG Electronics have explored the potential of robots in manufacturing using NVIDIA Isaac GR00T technology. The collaboration has led to the creation of reusable workflows for the training and evaluation of LG's CLOiD robot. By establishing a physical AI data cycle, workflows were developed that connect real-world data collection, data augmentation, and simulation evaluation, significantly improving the development and validation of robotics.
