Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will meet Doosan Group Chairman Park Jeong-won on the 7th, the third day of his visit to Korea. As cooperation between Nvidia and Doosan has been mentioned in the field of physical AI, attention is focused on the two leaders' meeting.
According to business circles, Huang will take the mound as the ceremonial first pitcher at the game between the Doosan Bears and the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the afternoon of the 7th. Park will take a ceremonial at-bat.
Huang is expected to wear a Doosan uniform with No. 93, signifying 1993, the year Nvidia was founded. Park, the owner of the Doosan Bears, is expected to step into the batter's box wearing a No. 96 uniform, signifying 1896, the year Doosan was founded.
With Huang throwing the first pitch and Park taking the ceremonial swing, the event can be seen as showcasing the two companies' future cooperation. The two companies already agreed last year to pursue cooperation to apply artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to construction machinery, power generation equipment, and robots. The goal is to build Doosan-specific models tailored to industrial sites by combining industrial data that Doosan has accumulated over decades with Nvidia's physical AI models and more.
Earlier, Huang's daughter, Madison Huang, senior director of Omniverse and Robotics product marketing, visited the Doosan Robotics Innovation Center in April and discussed technical cooperation plans between the two sides. At the time, the two companies discussed integrating Nvidia's AI and Robotics ecosystem into intelligent robot solutions and industrial humanoids under development by Doosan Robotics. The two sides aim to build a robot execution platform that can be applied to real industrial sites.
Meanwhile, Huang is also scheduled to meet the heads of major game companies on the 7th, including NCSOFT CEO Kim Taek-jin and Crastone Chairman Jang Byung-kyu.
