Robot-related stocks were strong on the morning of the 19th. Buying appears to have piled in after Samsung Electronics was reported to be discussing cooperation with Nvidia on developing artificial intelligence (AI) humanoids the previous day.
As of 9:27 a.m. that day, Angel Robotics was trading on KOSDAQ at 29,550 won, up 3,750 won (14.53%) from the previous session.
Shares grouped as robot-related stocks—Doosan Robotics, Rainbow Robotics, and HIGEN RNM—were also all rising.
Earlier, a Samsung Electronics official said on the 18th at "Nvidia AI Day Seoul," held at COEX in Seoul, "Samsung Electronics is researching various forms of robots, including actuators and software," and noted, "In the field of artificial intelligence, we are developing AI that utilizes the whole body and task-oriented AI together with big tech corporations."
The industry is interpreting this as hinting at the possibility of cooperation with Nvidia.
