Hyundai Motor Group· South KoreaNVIDIA Blackwell GPUs · NVIDIA Omniverse · NVIDIA Cosmos +6
Hyundai Motor Group is building an AI factory using 50,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to train, validate and deploy AI for in-vehicle systems, autonomous driving, smart factories and robotics. The collaboration includes an approximately $3 billion investment with the Korean government to build a national physical AI cluster, an NVIDIA AI Technology Center and Hyundai's Physical AI Application Center. Hyundai is exploring using NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos on RTX PRO Servers for factory digital twins, and using NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor running DriveOS for driver-assistance and in-vehicle AI.
Overview
Hyundai Motor Group is building an AI factory using 50,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to train, validate and deploy AI for in-vehicle systems, autonomous driving, smart factories and robotics. The collaboration includes an approximately $3 billion investment with the Korean government to build a national physical AI cluster, an NVIDIA AI Technology Center and Hyundai's Physical AI Application Center. Hyundai is exploring using NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos on RTX PRO Servers for factory digital twins, and using NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor running DriveOS for driver-assistance and in-vehicle AI.
The challenge
Hyundai Motor Group and NVIDIA are shifting from strategic adoption of advanced software platforms and infrastructure to joint innovation of core physical AI technologies, seeking to bring in-vehicle AI, autonomous driving, factory automation and robotics together into one intelligent, interconnected ecosystem.
The solution
Hyundai Motor Group is building an AI factory using 50,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs for integrated AI model training, validation and deployment. Hyundai is exploring and testing NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers (with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs) to build factory digital twins and digital twins of regional driving environments, and using NVIDIA Isaac Sim for virtual validation of humanoid and robotic task assignments before deployment on production lines. Hyundai is developing AI models with NVIDIA Nemotron open models and NVIDIA NeMo software for proprietary LLM and in-vehicle AI development, and using NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor running on the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS for advanced driver-assistance systems and in-vehicle intelligence.
Reported business value
The collaboration aims to enable integrated AI model training, validation and deployment using 50,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, and is expected to result in an approximately $3 billion investment, together with the Korean government, to advance Korea's physical AI landscape, including a national physical AI cluster, an NVIDIA AI Technology Center and Hyundai's Physical AI Application Center.

Martur Fompak International Boosts Throughput and Efficiency with Intelligent Robotics Enabled by Joule and Embodied AI
Martur Fompak International, a global automotive seating and interior systems manufacturer, deployed an autonomous intralogistics model using SAP's Joule solution and embodied AI capabilities, partnering with UK-based robotics company Humanoid. Built on SAP S/4HANA and SAP Extended Warehouse Management, the system gives humanoid robots and autonomous mobile robots real-time knowledge of tasks, storage locations, sequencing and production priorities, letting them identify, transport and deliver materials to the production line while continuously confirming actions back into SAP systems. The company has 400 daily production line feeds with 100% SAP software-driven decision making. Early results show increased throughput and fewer errors, with a future target of up to five times greater work efficiency for mass production. Martur Fompak International was named sole winner in the AI Excellence category at the 2026 SAP Innovation Awards.
