Nvidia's Madison Huang visits Korean tech firms

April 29 (Asia Today) -- Madison Huang, a senior director at Nvidia and daughter of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, met with major South Korean companies, including Samsung Electronics, SK hynix and Doosan Robotics, as Nvidia expands cooperation in physical artificial intelligence.

Huang, senior director of product and technical marketing for physical AI platforms at Nvidia, visited Doosan Robotics' Innovation Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on Wednesday and discussed technology cooperation with Doosan Robotics CEO Kim Min-pyo.

Doosan Robotics plans to connect its agentic robot operating system under development with Nvidia's AI, robotics simulation and learning infrastructure to build a platform that can be used at industrial sites.

Huang also reportedly visited Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. The meetings are believed to have focused on building a physical AI ecosystem covering semiconductors and robotics platforms.

The discussions also likely included ways to combine Nvidia's Omniverse robotics simulation platform with Korean manufacturing capabilities while reviewing the supply chain for high-performance AI chips that serve as the brains of robots.

Huang met Tuesday with Hyundai Motor and LG Electronics to discuss broader cooperation. The talks are seen as connected to possible AI applications in physical fields such as mobility, home appliances and robotics.

She also attended a forum titled "Leadership in the AI Era: Women's Voices" at Seoul National University's Haedong Advanced Engineering Building the same day.

Huang has been building ties with Korean companies since accompanying Jensen Huang to a meeting in Seoul last October with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun. She also joined Jensen Huang during a February meeting in Silicon Valley with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won.
