NVIDIA Advances Physical AI in Korea Across Semiconductors, Autonomous Driving and Robotics

NVIDIA is helping advance Korea's physical AI ecosystem, with Samsung, Kakao Mobility and LG Electronics applying accelerated computing, AI and simulation to semiconductor manufacturing, autonomous vehicles and robotics. Samsung's sMOL platform ran selected quantum chemical calculations up to 5x faster with NVIDIA cuEST, and one AI homogenization case cut simulation time from about 18 hours on a 32-core CPU to 41 seconds. Kakao Mobility plans a level 4 autonomous driving system on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor, while LG demonstrated NVIDIA Isaac GR00T-powered manipulation with its CLOiD robot in a real manufacturing environment.
