NC AI is taking its vision of physical artificial intelligence (AI) to Riyadh this week, where it will showcase technology designed to connect virtual environments with machines operating in the physical world.
The Korean physical AI company said Monday it will operate a joint pavilion for the Korean Full-Stack AI Consortium at LEAP 2026, which runs Monday through Thursday at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center.
The four-day technology exhibition is expected to draw more than 201,000 visitors from 203 countries and feature more than 1,000 speakers, including AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su and physicist Michio Kaku.
NC AI will join MegazoneCloud, Upstage, FuriosaAI and Uracle in presenting Korean capabilities spanning AI semiconductors, AI models, cloud and infrastructure.
At its pavilion, NC AI will focus on VAETKI, its industry-specific AI technology, and demonstrate how physical AI can move from digital environments to real-world action.
The company will showcase a technology stack that includes digital twins for creating virtual spaces, world models for understanding physical environments and robot foundation models for controlling machines.
Demonstrations using VARCO 3D and VAETKI Twin will recreate a logistics center, urban districts and buildings, as well as the LEAP exhibition hall and consortium pavilion in 3D environments.
NC AI said VARCO 3D can generate detailed 3D assets from text or images and support textures with resolutions of up to 4K, potentially reducing the time and cost required to build digital twins.
The company also plans to use its experience in Korea’s shipbuilding and defense industries to pursue applications in Saudi Arabia, including manufacturing automation and unmanned defense systems.
During LEAP 2026, NC AI will meet with Saudi government officials and companies while seeking business partnerships and coordinating with other members of the Korean consortium.
