Hyundai Motor Group is redefining the future of automotive innovation through its partnership with NVIDIA, leveraging cutting-edge AI, robotics, and digital twin technologies. This collaboration is revolutionizing both manufacturing processes and autonomous driving development, marking a significant step toward intelligent, software-driven factories and vehicles.
Accelerating Digital Transformation in Manufacturing
The advanced digital environment developed by Hyundai Motor Group enables faster robot integration, optimized production efficiency, and predictive maintenance. These innovations are paving the way for a fully autonomous, software-centered factory model that can fundamentally transform vehicle design and manufacturing.
Expanding to Robotics and Humanoids with NVIDIA Isaac Sim™
Hyundai Motor Group utilizes NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim™, a reference application within the Omniverse Enterprise platform, to expand into humanoid and robotics systems. This allows engineers to validate task assignments, motion planning, and ergonomic safety in virtual environments before deploying robots on the production line. As a result, robot integration speeds up dramatically while productivity reaches new heights.
Advancing Autonomous Driving Through Digital Twin Simulations
Using the Omniverse and COSMOS platforms, Hyundai Motor Group is building digital twins of regional driving environments and conditions. By running extensive simulations, the company is refining the development of autonomous driving technologies. This initiative positions Hyundai Motor Group at the forefront of next-generation self-driving innovation.
Developing Advanced AI Models with NVIDIA NeMo™ and Nemotron™
Hyundai is also developing next-generation AI models based on NVIDIA’s Nemotron™ open AI inference model and NeMo™ software framework. These technologies enable continuous improvement of vehicle functions and performance through over-the-air (OTA) software updates, ensuring that vehicles evolve seamlessly over time.
Intelligent In-Vehicle AI Experiences
Beyond autonomous driving, Hyundai plans to use advanced AI models to power personalized digital assistants, intelligent infotainment systems, and adaptive comfort features. These innovations will enable vehicles to learn continuously, offering drivers a smarter and more personalized in-car experience.
Powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor
Hyundai vehicles will leverage the AI computing capabilities of NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor, supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), next-generation safety features, and immersive in-vehicle AI experiences that redefine the driving experience.
Building a Connected Intelligent Ecosystem
Together, Hyundai Motor Group and NVIDIA are transforming cars and factories from standalone systems into a single, interconnected intelligent ecosystem. This collaboration sets a new global standard for the future of the automotive industry — where AI, robotics, and software-defined manufacturing converge.
