LG Electronics begins early production of humanoid robot actuators

LG Electronics has begun early mass production of AXIUM robotic actuators at its Changwon plant, several months ahead of schedule, to supply its CLOi humanoid robots and accelerate entry into the humanoid robotics market. The company plans to deploy 300 robots at its Seoul data factory to collect operational data from over 6,000 actuators, essential for refining the technology before external sales.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Robotics and Manufacturing Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur, Fusion42's AI co-founder, reasons over.
