Since 2022, LG Electronics has held the 6G Grand Summit with KAIST and KRISS, and from this year, the scope of discussions has expanded to include Physical AI, Quantum-X, and Space Tech.
At the event, Kim Byunghoon, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of LG Electronics, Lee Kwanghyung, President of KAIST, Park Yeongyu, Vice President of KRISS, and Park Inkyu, Director General for Science, Technology and Innovation at the Ministry of Science and ICT, delivered welcome and congratulatory remarks. Other attendees included KAIST professors Cho Dongho and Hong Sungcheol, Korea University professor Heo Jun, Yonsei University professor Kim Donggu, Han Sangwook, President of the Korean Society for Quantum Information Science, as well as representatives from the Korea Aerospace Administration and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), who participated in technical presentations and exhibitions.
The keynote speeches were delivered by KAIST professor Jang Youngjae and Dr. Masahiro Horibe of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. Professor Jang introduced strategies for building a manufacturing ecosystem based on Physical AI, while Dr. Horibe presented Japan's quantum technology ecosystem strategy.
On this day, LG Electronics demonstrated several technologies, including 6G full duplex radio (FDR) technology that maximizes frequency efficiency, a P5G-based smart factory robot control solution, and next-generation voice communication technology utilizing non-terrestrial networks (NTN). In addition, KAIST and KRISS showcased AI semiconductor-based robots, a 6G wireless signal measurement system, quantum computing materials, and software solutions.
Since establishing Korea’s first ‘6G Research Center’ with KAIST in 2019, LG Electronics has built an industry-academia-research collaboration system to secure fundamental 6G technologies. Based on these technologies, the company plans to expand the application of immersive content transmission and convergence technologies integrating communications, AI, and sensing into next-generation businesses such as AI Home, mobility, and smart factories.
Furthermore, LG Electronics is strengthening research and development in Physical AI fields such as humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles through collaboration with the LG AI Research Institute and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). For the fifth scheduled launch of the Nuri rocket next year, the company will equip it with a communications antenna, thereby advancing its technological capabilities in the space industry.
Kim Byunghoon, Executive Vice President, stated, "We will continue to strengthen our leadership in future core technologies such as 6G, AI, quantum, and space technologies by maintaining collaboration with a diverse range of research and development partners."
