Madison Huang, the eldest daughter of Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang and senior director of Omniverse and Robotics product marketing, came to Korea and held a series of meetings with domestic corporations to pursue cooperation on physical artificial intelligence (AI).
On the 29th, Senior Director Huang visited the Doosan Robotics Innovation Center in Bundang District, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, and discussed ways to cooperate on physical AI technologies with Kim Min-pyo, CEO of Doosan Robotics. She was also said to have met with executives of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix the same day. The day before, she met with executives of LG Electronics and Hyundai Motor.
That day, Senior Director Huang focused on discussions about building a robot execution platform that can be applied to industrial sites by linking Doosan Robotics' agentic robot operating system under development with Nvidia's AI and Robotics simulation and training infrastructure.
Doosan Robotics plans to unveil an intelligent robot solution based on an agentic robot operating system next year and to roll out an industrial humanoid in 2028. It also plans to push to announce the results of collaboration between the two companies at major global exhibitions such as CES with Nvidia next year.
CEO Kim Min-pyo said, "The success or failure of physical AI depends not only on the intelligence of the AI model but also on the stability of the execution platform that runs it on-site without error," adding, "We will pursue the commercialization of intelligent robot solutions and industrial humanoids by combining Doosan's hardware manufacturing capabilities with Nvidia's software ecosystem."
Senior Director Huang also was said to have met with key executives of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix that day to discuss ways to build a physical AI ecosystem spanning semiconductors and robot platforms. Reports said she reviewed the supply chain for high-performance AI Semiconductor chips that serve as the robot's brain and explored a practical cooperation model that combines Nvidia's robot simulation platform "Omniverse" with domestic corporations' hardware manufacturing capabilities.
Senior Director Huang met with executives of LG Electronics and Hyundai Motor the day before. She also attended the forum "Leadership in the AI era: women's voices," held at the Haedong Institute of Advanced Technology at Seoul National University the same day.
