LG Innotek is expanding its robotics push from the "eyes" to the "skin," teaming up with Japan’s TDK to develop next-generation vision and tactile sensing modules for physical AI applications. The companies said Tuesday they have formed a strategic partnership combining LG Innotek’s optical and precision engineering capabilities with TDK’s broad portfolio of sensor technologies. Under the partnership, LG Innotek will integrate TDK sensors, including inertial measurement units, position sensors a
Samsung Display and LG Display each unveiled OLED panels designed for humanoid robot faces at K-Display 2026 in Seoul on Wednesday, marking an attempt to open a new application for screen technology already refined in smartphones and cars. Samsung Display placed a humanoid head at the front of its booth, fitted with a 6.9-inch curved OLED that displays expressions and status cues and tracks visitors' gaze with eye-tracking. The company also showed a 1.3-inch circular OLED built into a companion
LG Display reported an operating profit of 39 billion won ($26.4 million) on revenue of 11.15 trillion won for the first half of 2026, reversing an operating loss of 82.6 billion won a year earlier, the company said Wednesday. The 121.6 billion won improvement came without top-line growth. Revenue fell 4.3 percent from the same period last year, leaving an operating margin of 0.35 percent for the half. Almost all of that profit was earned in the first quarter. The second quarter produced an oper
LG Electronics convened about 300 executives from Korea and overseas on Thursday to review its second-half strategy and accelerate growth in robotics, AI data center cooling and other future businesses. The company’s expanded management meeting, chaired by CEO Lyu Jae-cheol, brought together headquarters and business-unit executives as well as regional chiefs and overseas subsidiary heads, both in person and online. The meeting follows a record first half, with LG Electronics reporting prelimina
LG Energy Solution will supply batteries for Google’s largest solar and energy storage project, extending its push into power infrastructure tied to surging demand from AI data centers, industry sources said Wednesday. Google and renewable energy developer Cypress Creek Energy unveiled the Steel River Energy Center in Arkansas on Tuesday. The project will initially pair 1.6 gigawatts of solar generation with about 2 gigawatt-hours of battery storage before expanding to 2.5 GW of solar and 2.9 GW
LG Electronics is filling out its robot-actuator organization from research to sales, opening six mid-career positions as it works toward a 2027 target for supplying the motorized joints that will power other companies' humanoid robots. Actuators are the motorized joint modules that combine a motor, gearing and control electronics to move a humanoid's limbs. They typically account for 40 to 60 percent of a humanoid's total cost, and a single machine can use 30 to more than 50 — which is why comp
LG AI Research put its Exaone model's industrial results on display at the International Conference on Machine Learning in Seoul this week, presenting 14 papers alongside AI-discovered industrial materials, a stock analysis agent and a data generation platform already in commercial use, the company said Wednesday. It is the first time the conference has been held in Korea. ICML, one of the three most prominent global AI and machine learning conferences, runs Monday through Saturday at Coex in so
Once a niche appliance, robot vacuum cleaners have become a test of whether Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics can regain ground in a fast-growing Korean market increasingly shaped by Chinese rivals. China's strength in the sector is reflected in trade data. Figures from the General Administration of Customs of China showed China exported 11.32 billion yuan ($1.67 billion) worth of robots in the first quarter. Cleaning robots, a category newly added to customs product codes this year, accoun
LG AI Research recently obtained ISO 27001 certification, demonstrating compliance with international information security standards across the entire AI lifecycle, from data training and model development to deployment and service delivery. Issued by the International Organization for Standardization, ISO 27001 is one of the world's leading information security certifications, verifying an organization's ability to protect and manage information assets against a wide range of security threats.
When Koo Kwang-mo took the helm of LG Group in 2018 at age 40, he did so without a grand ceremony, a high-profile speech or the usual fanfare surrounding chaebol succession. Eight years later, that restrained style still defines one of South Korea’s youngest conglomerate chiefs. Behind the low-key image, however, Koo has driven some of LG's most consequential changes in decades — exiting smartphones, scaling back LCDs and redirecting the group toward higher-margin businesses such as vehicle comp
