On 2026-07-27 LG secured NVIDIA AI Factory validation for its 600 kW Coolant Distribution Unit, passing more than 100 technical evaluation criteria covering cooling performance, reliability and failover, becoming one of a small group globally to clear that verification for this equipment class. The direct-to-chip unit delivers coolant to GPUs and CPUs for a hybrid cooling system, and can pair with LG's Data Centre Cooling Control Manager for predictive control and centralised monitoring. LG validates the whole chain at a dedicated Chip-to-Chiller site in Pyeongtaek. Commercial substance: LG has secured cooling projects for hyperscale facilities in North America and for the SM+ Data Center, an AI-ready facility in Jakarta, and intends to seek NVIDIA certification for 1 MW, 2.5 MW and 4 MW capacities. It also joined SK Enmove, GRC and Flex on liquid immersion cooling in October 2025, putting it on both the direct-to-chip and immersion sides. Commercial scores 2 because no data center cooling revenue is disclosed and the scoped row excludes group revenue.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":80,"score":55,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":7,"position":8,"progress":9,"firepower":1,"commercial":3,"deployment":2,"production":9,"technology":6},"why":"LG Electronics is developing the CLOiD humanoid home robot, with onboard communication, perception and navigation hardware, and operates an HS Robotics Lab focused on robotics technologies.","segment":"Consumer & home","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":102,"facts_total":24},{"name":"The Bot Company","url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/the-bot-company","city":"San Francisco","country":"United States","stage":null,"founded":null,"last_round":null,"positioning":"The Bot Company is a privately held San Francisco robotics startup founded by Kyle Vogt, Paril Jain, and Luke Holoubek to build household robots; its public ecosystem includes investors Greenoaks, Spark, Eclipse, Kleiner Perkins, NFDG, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and the Collison brothers, while Foxglove lists it as a customer and physical-AI developer.
