SEOUL, South Korea (Aug 2026) – Teaching a machine to clean a messy room or assemble complex factory parts used to take years of trial and error. A massive four-story facility in South Korea is changing that by letting hundreds of AI-powered machines practice everyday chores around the clock.
LG Electronics has expanded its partnership with NVIDIA to create a 10,000-square-meter Data Factory inside its Yangjae R&D Campus in Seoul. The setup combines LG’s devices with NVIDIA’s robotics software stack to let robots rehearse tasks like cleaning, stacking, and assembling components.
These activities generate massive amounts of real-world operational data. LG feeds this information into NVIDIA’s robotics software stack, including NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, Cosmos open world models, and the Isaac development platform. By combining real physical testing with synthetic simulations, LG plans to generate 100,000 hours of training data by the end of 2026, which is equal to roughly 12 years of continuous learning.
From factory floors to Pinoy homes
This data flywheel continuously feeds into LG’s Robot Foundation Model, which serves as the brain for future humanoid and service machines. The tech giant designated 2026 as the official starting point of its companywide robotics expansion, establishing a dedicated Robotics Business Center reporting directly to the CEO.
While industrial and commercial logistics machines are currently being trained, LG eventually plans to bring these advanced AI companions directly into consumer homes.
Note: Local Philippine pricing, availability, and release dates for LG CLOiD home robotics products have not yet been announced.
