SEOUL, Jan. 10 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Motor Group said Friday it has formed a strategic partnership with Nvidia Corp. for the development of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies related to future mobility.

Through the partnership signed in Las Vegas on Thursday (local time), the group plans to enhance key mobility solutions, including those for software-defined vehicles and robotics, and expand the application of AI technology across its business operations.

Specifically, Hyundai Motor intends to leverage digital twin technology to simulate construction and operation of new factories in virtual environments. Using this approach, Hyundai will utilize Nvidia’s digital twin platform Omniverse to improve manufacturing efficiency, enhance quality and reduce costs.

Additionally, Hyundai Motor will use Nvidia’s accelerated computing hardware and generative AI development tools to establish a framework for safe training of AI models with vast amounts of data.

The automotive group also plans to develop AI-powered robots using Nvidia’s robotics platform Isaac, and create virtual environments needed for robot training.

“Hyundai Motor Group is making innovative efforts across various fields, including robotics, autonomous driving and smart factories, by leveraging AI technology,” Kim Heung-soo, head of the global strategy office at Hyundai Motor Group, said.

Kim added, “Through our collaboration with Nvidia, we aim to solidify and accelerate these innovations, positioning ourselves as a leading company in future mobility.”
