LG Electronics debuts LG CLOiD home robot
LG will demonstrate an AI-powered robot designed to perform household chores and coordinate connected appliances at CES 2026.
LG Electronics will demonstrate LG CLOiD, an AI home robot intended to perform and coordinate household chores, at CES 2026.
The company said in a statement the robot embodies its "Zero Labor Home" vision and will be shown handling real-world scenarios, including retrieving milk and placing a croissant in an oven, initiating laundry cycles and folding garments after drying.
LG CLOiD comprises a head unit, a torso with two articulated arms and a wheeled base with autonomous navigation.
Each arm has seven degrees of freedom and a hand with five independently actuated fingers; the torso can tilt to reach objects from knee level and above, LG highlighted.
The head houses a chipset, a display, a speaker, cameras, sensors and voice-based generative AI, and the firm said the system's Vision Language Model (VLM) and Vision Language Action (VLA) have been trained on tens of thousands of hours of household task data.
According to LG, CLOiD connects with the ThinQ platform and ThinQ ON hub to orchestrate services across appliances.
