South Korea’s Doosan Group and NVIDIA are strengthening ties across several of Doosan’s major business units to accelerate development of physical AI, advanced robotics and next-generation AI factory infrastructure.
The partnership will combine Doosan’s expertise in industrial automation, energy systems and advanced electronics materials with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI platforms. According to NVIDIA, the companies will collaborate on technologies to support emerging AI-powered industries, from intelligent robots and autonomous machinery to power solutions for large-scale AI data centers.
The collaboration emphasizes physical AI and robotics. Doosan Robotics will add NVIDIA technologies to its Agentic Robot OS platform. These include Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Cosmos world foundation models, the Newton physics engine and Jetson Thor.
The platform is designed to integrate perception, reasoning, simulation and real-time inference so that industrial robots can function more efficiently in complex environments.
According to NVIDIA, the companies are also exploring industrial applications such as depalletizing and sanding. They will also be exploring advanced robotic systems, such as dual-arm robots and humanoid systems, while evaluating how well those might perform in current applications.
Doosan Bobcat will also explore opportunities to use NVIDIA’s physical AI technologies in equipment used in construction, agriculture, landscaping and material handling. NVIDIA said the effort is intended to improve autonomous capabilities and support the development of an ecosystem for compact autonomous equipment.
In the energy industry, Doosan Enerbility is exploring ways NVIDIA AI factories could use its portfolio of gas and steam turbines, hydrogen fuel cells and small modular reactors. The companies said the collaboration could help address the growing power requirements of AI data centers.
Doosan Corporation Electro-Materials BG will also provide advanced copper clad laminate materials that support high-performance printed circuit boards, and thus support both the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem and next-generation AI server infrastructure.
The announcement follows a series of NVIDIA partnerships focused on physical AI, robotics and AI infrastructure as the company expands its AI factory ecosystem.
