According to Yonhap News on June 2, Huang, who is expected to arrive in Korea on the evening of June 4, is planning to visit the Seoul National University AI Institute and Robotics Laboratory on June 8, and is currently coordinating the detailed schedule with the university.


Professors and other faculty members affiliated with the laboratories are expected to attend Huang's visit, and demonstrations of the major research areas of each institution are anticipated.


An official from Seoul National University stated, "The format of the meeting is currently under discussion with Nvidia."


This visit comes about two months after Madison Huang, Jensen Huang's eldest daughter and Senior Director of Robotics Marketing at Nvidia, visited the Seoul National University Robotics Laboratory in April.


At that time, Director Huang observed robotics demonstrations at the laboratory and held discussions with the research staff.


Attention is focused on whether cooperation between academia and Nvidia will officially begin in the 'Physical AI' sector, which Nvidia has positioned as its next-generation core business, following its collaboration with Korea's industry.



Nvidia has recently accelerated the expansion of the Physical AI ecosystem by consecutively unveiling its robot simulation platform 'Omniverse,' robot development platform 'Isaac,' and humanoid foundation model 'GR00T.'
