Huang, who visited the stadium to throw the ceremonial first pitch, watched the game for about an hour and a half before leaving. When reporters asked which areas NVIDIA and Doosan plan to collaborate on, Huang replied, "Robotics," adding, "There is a tremendous amount of robotics activity happening in Korea." He continued, saying, "Korea excels in software, has outstanding AI, and possesses strong manufacturing capabilities," emphasizing, "The intersection of AI and manufacturing is precisely where robotics lies."

When asked how he felt about throwing the first pitch, Huang joked, "It was a really terrible first pitch. An awful throw." He added humorously, "The ball went straight toward Chairman Park. It almost hit him."

Before the ceremony, Huang and Chairman Park held a separate meeting. Chairman Park personally greeted Huang at the main entrance and guided him to the reception area on the second floor of the stadium. Park presented Huang with a keepsake, a 'Doosan Il-Doo' sculpture symbolizing Doosan's corporate spirit.

It is reported that Huang and Park discussed ways to expand cooperation in areas such as physical AI, where there are synergies related to artificial intelligence (AI).

The collaboration between the two companies is expanding into the physical AI sector. In April, Madison Huang, Senior Director of Omniverse and Robotics Product Marketing at NVIDIA, visited Doosan Robotics to discuss industrial humanoid and physical AI technology partnerships with Doosan Robotics CEO Kim Minpyo. Doosan's Electronics BG is currently supplying NVIDIA with high-end copper clad laminate (CCL), a key material for AI accelerators.

On this day, Huang took the mound wearing a Doosan Bears uniform with the number 93, representing the founding year of NVIDIA in 1993. Chairman Park drew attention by stepping up as the batter in a number 96 uniform, symbolizing Doosan's founding year of 1896.

Just before the ceremonial first pitch, Huang remarked, "Korea's PC gaming industry and NVIDIA have grown together," adding, "I came here to meet my Korean partners and also to enjoy 'Korean-style fried chicken.' There's nothing better than 'Chimaek' (chicken and beer)."
