LG Innotek is joining hands with NVIDIA to develop sensing technologies for application in physical artificial intelligence (AI) devices such as robots and autonomous vehicles. The company plans to leverage camera and sensor solutions incorporating NVIDIA’s latest technologies to expand its penetration of the global robotics market.

LG Innotek announced on the 22nd that it unveiled sensing solutions applying the latest Holoscan Sensor Bridge (HSB) technology at NVIDIA’s technology conference “GTC Berlin,” held in Berlin, Germany, on the 20th (local time). The solutions include a 3‑megapixel camera module and a multimodal vision system (MVS) that combines multiple cameras and sensors.

NVIDIA’s HSB is a technology that transmits data collected by cameras and sensors directly to an AI computer without passing through a central processing unit (CPU). It effectively opens a high‑speed data highway, enabling robots and autonomous vehicles to recognize and assess their surroundings more rapidly.

The two companies plan to broaden the scope of cooperation to include vision sensing that provides sight for humanoid robots and sensing solutions related to robotic hands. They intend to develop sensing solutions that connect to NVIDIA’s next‑generation platforms and unveil them at CES 2027, the world’s largest information technology (IT) and consumer electronics exhibition, and at GTC next year.

LG Innotek has recently been expanding its business into the autonomous driving field. Last year it formed a strategic partnership with U.S. LiDAR company Aeva, and this year it began joint development of autonomous driving solutions with Applied Intuition and Kakao Mobility. In the robotics sector, the company has been developing robot components with Boston Dynamics, while also starting mass production of camera modules for North American robotics customers.

Moon Hyuk-soo, CEO of LG Innotek, said, “Based on our business portfolio spanning sensing, communication modules, and semiconductor substrates, we will move quickly to secure a leading position in the physical AI solutions market.”
