The global large language model (LLM) market for robots is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 48.2% by 2028, expanding to a scale of $100 billion.

On the 9th, market research firm TrendForce analyzed that the global LLM market for robotics is rapidly growing, driven by the advancement of household and industrial robots and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. It noted that AI plays a crucial role in enhancing robots' understanding and interaction capabilities.

TrendForce predicted that NVIDIA's physical AI development platform, Cosmos, unveiled at the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition, CES 2025, will become the center of market growth. Cosmos is a platform that supports physical AI systems, such as robots and autonomous vehicles, in learning vast data from the real world.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, emphasized during his keynote address at CES that 'a turning point like ChatGPT is approaching in the field of robotics,' adding that 'Cosmos will be an essential tool for the development of LLM, robots, and autonomous vehicles.'

Meanwhile, domestic corporations such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are moving swiftly in the robotics market.

Samsung Electronics recently secured its position as the largest shareholder of Rainbow Robotics and established a future robotics promotion team directly under Vice Chairman Han Jong-hee. It also announced plans to launch an AI-based companion robot, 'Bolly,' in the first half of the year at CES 2025.

LG Electronics is pursuing a humanoid robot business aimed at 'liberating household chores,' and plans to unveil products and a software development kit related to a mobile AI home hub (codename Q9) in February to March.
