NVIDIA announced that it will be working with the Foxconn Group, in order to create new factories and industries that prioritise AI in manufacturing. As per the official statement, the new endeavour will include digitalisation of manufacturing and inspection workflows, development of AI-powered electric vehicles and robotics platforms, and numerous language-based generative AI services.
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, and Young Liu, Foxconn Chairman and CEO, said that the creation of AI factories will be the first infrastructures the two companies will built, one of which will be a GPU computing infrastructure specially built for processing, refining, and transforming vast amounts of data into valuable AI models and tokens. All this, of course, will be based on the GPU brand’s latest GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, as well as its AI Enterprise software.
In conjunction to that, Foxconn will also be building its own Smart EV, based on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion 9, a next generation platform made for autonomous automotive fleets, powered by Team Green’s DRIVE Thor SoC. On top of that, Foxconn’s entire Smart Manufacturing robotic systems will be built entirely on the Isaac autonomous mobile robot platform.
NVIDIA’s presence in the realm of autonomous vehicles and AI isn’t new. Long before the construction of EVs, the company spent years honing its technologies and applications of AI in self-driving cars and long worked with several automotive brands, including Tesla, BMW, Audi.
