Madison Huang, Nvidia's senior director of product marketing for Omniverse and robotics and daughter of CEO Jensen Huang, is expected to visit Seoul next month, industry sources said Wednesday.
Huang is expected to attend Nvidia AI Day Seoul 2026 at Coex in southern Seoul on Nov. 9-10 as the US chip giant deepens its push into Korea's robotics and manufacturing sectors. While she is not scheduled to speak, she is expected to take part in meetings and other events.
It would mark her fourth visit to Korea this year, underscoring Nvidia's growing engagement with Korean industry. In April, she met executives from Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, LG Electronics, Hyundai Motor and Doosan Robotics to discuss physical AI cooperation. She accompanied her father during his June visit and toured LG Electronics' robot-training data factory in August.
Nvidia is expanding its Korean partnerships beyond semiconductors and AI infrastructure into robotics, autonomous driving and factory automation. Its Omniverse platform enables companies to simulate robots and manufacturing facilities, while its Isaac tools support robot development and training.
LG Group signed an agreement with Nvidia in August covering robotics, AI factories and future mobility, including humanoid robots. Doosan Group is developing an agentic robot operating system using Nvidia technology, while Hyundai Motor Group plans to build an AI factory powered by 50,000 Nvidia GPUs.
Huang's visit could open the door to further discussions as these projects advance, although no meetings with Korean executives have been confirmed.
Nvidia AI Day Seoul will feature 15 sessions on physical AI, agentic AI and AI infrastructure on Nov. 9, followed by technical workshops and startup networking the next day. About 20 companies, including Samsung, SK hynix, LG Electronics and Naver Cloud, will participate as partners.
