NVIDIA announced November 9 that three major Korean firms are deepening physical AI adoption. Samsung Electronics is using NVIDIA accelerated computing libraries including cuISS, cuDSS, and cuEST to speed semiconductor simulation and materials research. NVIDIA says one AI homogenization workflow achieved roughly a 1,600x speedup over a CPU baseline. Kakao Mobility plans to build a level 4 autonomous driving system using NVIDIA Hyperion, DRIVE AGX Thor, and Halos safety tools, with initial development targeting Kia purpose-built vehicles. LG Electronics demonstrated robotic manipulation with NVIDIA Isaac GR00T on its CLOiD robot in a live manufacturing environment, using a data pipeline connecting real-world collection, Cosmos-based augmentation, and simulation validation.
