LG Innotek Partners With Applied Intuition For Physical AI Expansion LG Innotek and Applied Intuition established a strategic partnership to advance physical AI capabilities across autonomous driving, robotics, and drone platforms. The agreement facilitates the integration of LG Innotek sensing hardware—including camera, LiDAR, and Radar modules—with Applied Intuition software simulation tools and reference vehicle fleets. Initial operational phases involve sensor validation across diverse infrastructures in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Korea to optimize perception performance through real-world data telemetry and feedback loops. The collaboration introduces a comprehensive virtual sensor suite leveraging digital twin technology to replicate physical sensor characteristics in simulation environments. This virtualized stack allows global automakers to validate ADAS and autonomous stacks using high-fidelity synthetic data, streamlining the path from development to mass production. The partnership aligns with LG Innotek strategy to transition into a full-stack mobility solutions provider, combining hardware manufacturing with sophisticated software integration to secure leadership in the physical AI era. Faraday Future Aegis Quadruped Robot Secures FCC Compliance For US Sales Faraday Future confirmed that its Aegis quadruped robot has passed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) compliance certification, clearing the platform for formal commercial distribution in the United States. The Aegis joins the Futurist and Master humanoid models within the company’s Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem. Engineered for security and companionship, the quadruped features peak joint torque of 48 Newton-meters, supporting navigation over 13-inch obstacles and 40-degree slopes. The system includes integrated 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote operation in industrial and outdoor environments. The hardware architecture is highly modular, offering a standard quadrupedal frame with an optional wheeled configuration and expansion ports for Lidar, depth cameras, and robotic manipulators. On the software side, Aegis supports
