LG Electronics' Decades of Manufacturing Know-How Meets NVIDIA's Robotics Stack At LG's New Data Factory in Seoul
News Summary
- Senior executives from LG Electronics (LG) and LG Group affiliates joined top NVIDIA officials at LG's Data Factory to accelerate the companies' robotics collaboration.
- LG is combining decades of manufacturing and logistics data with NVIDIA's open robotics development platform to build a world-class "data flywheel" for robot learning.
- LG has set this year as the starting point of its robotics push, launching a dedicated Robotics Business Center and expanding its lineup from industrial and commercial robots to home robots.
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today announced that it is accelerating its robotics collaboration with NVIDIA. LG hosted senior NVIDIA officials at its Data Factory, currently under construction at the company's Yangjae R&D Campus in Seoul, to review the direction of the two companies' collaboration and discuss ways to generate further synergies.
LG Group and NVIDIA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for strategic collaboration on future business initiatives at NVIDIA's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, on August 13 (local time). Reconvening just four days later at LG's Data Factory signals that the two companies intend to move quickly to solidify the strategic cooperation and speed up commercialization of the robotics business.
Officials from both companies also reviewed the current status of LG's Data Factory, which is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of the year. LG has deployed its self-developed, field-proven LG CLOiD™ home robots at scale to generate, collect and learn from data.
The LG's Data Factory features training spaces where robots practice a range of tasks, as well as dedicated areas for validating and refining the resulting data sets. There is a replicated home environment where LG CLOiD learns and repeats cleaning tasks, and a simulated manufacturing space – modeled on LG's washing machine plant in Tennessee – where LG CLOiD units move, stack and assemble a variety of parts. The robots are also being deployed in LG CNS's logistics automation solutions and in a space where LG Innotek trains robotic hands. Data collected across these environments will be linked with NVIDIA's robotics stack, where it is augmented and synthesized into high-quality data for robot learning.
For LG, the core competitiveness of physical AI is its ability to help build a "data flywheel," where high-quality data is repeatedly secured and then used to train and continuously improve robots. Integrating detailed data gathered from LG's manufacturing and logistics operations over decades with NVIDIA's robotics stack is expected to produce a world-class data flywheel that will help set LG apart from competitors.
The Data Factory serves as a space where robots collect data through physical learning and as a forward base for expanding, synthesizing and amplifying robot-learning data collected from LG's manufacturing and logistics sites, and home appliances worldwide. NVIDIA's physical AI technologies – including NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, NVIDIA Cosmos open world models and the open NVIDIA Isaac robotics development platform – are used from data to deployment.
Spanning four floors – one basement level and three above ground – with a total floor area of 10,000 square meters, the Yangjae facility will house several hundred robots by the end of the year. LG also plans to continue upgrading its data-learning systems.
By the end of this year, training data collected directly at the facility and data synthetically generated and augmented using NVIDIA Cosmos open world models are expected to total 100,000 hours, equivalent to roughly 12 years of data.
LG plans to use this data to advance its Robot Foundation Model (RFM), which underpins the performance of humanoid robots, as it continues to build its robotics competitiveness.
LG has designated this year as the starting point for its robotics business push and is moving quickly to strengthen its capabilities. Last month, the company established a Robotics Business Center. Reporting directly to the CEO, the center oversees LG's companywide robotics business and has been tasked with improving execution and efficiency.
The company has established a strong presence in the industrial and commercial robotics markets and plans to expand into home robotics. Backed by proven expertise in manufacturing and developing core robotic components, including actuators, LG delivers differentiated competitiveness spanning from components to finished products. Combined with its Data Factory, which collects and manages the large-scale data needed for robot learning and operation, these strengths will further accelerate LG's transformation into a comprehensive robotics solutions provider with both hardware and software capabilities.
"Through the synergy built on 'One LG' – bringing together core capabilities across the Group – and strategic collaboration with global partners, we will secure our competitiveness in physical AI and become a comprehensive robotics solutions provider," said Lyu Jae-cheol, CEO of LG Electronics.

LG ELECTRONICS ACCELERATES ROBOTICS COLLABORATION WITH NVIDIA
HONG KONG, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- All-asset trading platform BiFu has brought its assets and trading services under BiNet, a unified asset trading network linking crypto, forex, commodities, stock CFDs, real-world assets (RWA), and prediction markets to one account and funding system. Complete KYC once, and every market opens with the same account and the same pool of funds. More than a reorganisation of features, this is a shift in positioning: from an all-asset exchange to a "network that unifies assets."
A Fragmented Asset World: The Industry Problem BiNet Targets
Every asset class has its own market, and between markets, accounts, verification, and funding channels each run their own way. A multi-market trader typically keeps crypto on one exchange, forex and gold with another broker, and stocks in a third account; when a move happens, the money is often elsewhere, shifting it takes hours at best, days at worst, and by then the window has closed.
Broken down, the fragmentation shows on four levels:
- Identity — one person, verified repeatedly across markets;
- Capital — one pool of funds, scattered across disconnected accounts;
- Risk — cross-market exposure without one account and risk framework;
- Compliance — each market's onboarding running in isolation.
At bottom, this is an infrastructure problem, not a product one, between the markets, a network is missing. BiNet positions itself as a unified entry layer across asset classes, rather than as another venue for additional assets.
BiNet: Connecting Fragmented Markets Into One Network
BiNet is BiFu's unified asset trading network, not a product users open, but the system connecting six markets into one account and clearing framework. BiFu is the platform users see; BiNet is the network behind it, each new market reuses the same capabilities.
Think of mobile roaming: travelers don't buy a new SIM in every country, interconnected networks keep one number reachable everywhere. BiNet gives capital the same property: no new account per market; once on the network, funds are "online" wherever the action happens. Crypto exchanges standardized on-chain assets into tokens; brokers standardized stocks and bonds into uniform products; BiNet standardizes the point of access itself, allowing a single account to reach multiple asset classes across markets.
Unified identity, funds, risk, and compliance: one KYC for six markets, fiat and crypto funding with internal transfers, one view of exposure, one onboarding relationship per market. The unified account is the first result users feel: every asset line, funds moving freely, no repeated onboarding.
BiFu: One Account Into Six Markets and Wealth Management
BiNet is the underlying network, and BiFu is the entry point users interact with. Six markets are currently connected: crypto (spot and derivatives on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and other major coins), forex (CFDs on major pairs such as EUR, USD, and AUD), commodities (gold, silver, crude oil, and others), and stocks. RWA covers real world asset rights digitized into an online investment process, and prediction markets offer contracts on event outcomes across geopolitics, crypto, sports, weather, and the economy, priced on a real time probability consensus. According to the platform, some widely followed events have reached volumes in the tens of millions of dollars. More markets may be added over time, while the point of access stays the same.
Asset owners plug real assets into the network; users subscribe, hold, and transfer in one account, across three lines. RWA includes pre IPO and unlisted equity in AI foundation models, hard tech, and commercial aerospace. Strategy yield covers HK equity anchoring, FX asset management, crypto quant, supply chain finance, and fixed income. Notes are collateralized, insured private notes with defined terms, seniority, and repayment sources. All three share one issuance, custody, and clearing framework that is auditable from issuance through trading, with returns coming from the underlying assets rather than platform subsidies. Each product is labeled with risk level, term, remaining quota, and minimum investment.
The platform aggregates liquidity from 200+ exchanges and market makers, running a proprietary sub millisecond matching engine, 7×24 smart routing, and a full account, routing, matching, and clearing chain.
On security, assets are segregated from operating funds under third party custody with independent audits, multi layer cold storage with multi party authorization, real time AML and KYT monitoring, regular penetration tests and code audits, and an investor protection insurance fund.
From a Major Football Campaign to All Markets: A Completed Proof
In June and July, the large-scale football campaign "Football Without Borders" drew 13,999 participants who predicted 464,443 total goals; forex notional volume topped US$160 million, matching BiNet's thesis: wherever attention goes, trading follows, users who came for a match moved on to forex in the same account.
BiNet's value compresses into that one line. For the network, connected markets; for users, one entry, when opportunity appears, the funds are already there. Crypto traders fear missing the move; FX veterans, a data night — the same emotion: missing out. The unified account answers: Be here, for you.
A trader's assets today sit in several places, crypto in one account, forex in another, stocks and RWA in a third. When opportunity appears, the money often isn't in that market, or takes hours or days to get there. BiNet solves exactly that: capital flowing between markets instead of sitting in silos, according to BiFu's CEO.
The unified account is the most direct result this network delivers to users. And the network keeps growing: more markets will connect, while the user entry remains one and the same.
About BiFu
BiFu is a next-generation all-asset trading platform connecting trading, assets, and future markets. Through its unified account system, BiFu provides users with a single gateway to multi-asset trading, including Crypto derivatives, forex CFDs, tokenized stocks and RWA, prediction markets, Earn, and copy trading.
One Account, Trade the World.
