LAS VEGAS \u2014 LG Electronics will unveil its next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) home robot, LG CLOiD, at CES 2026 when it opens Tuesday (local time) in Las Vegas, the company said Sunday.<\/p>\n
The robot embodies LG\u2019s vision for the future of AI-powered homes, demonstrating how intelligent machines can autonomously manage household chores, control home appliances and interact naturally with residents by understanding their routines and surrounding environment.<\/p>\n
The debut of LG CLOiD aligns with LG Electronics\u2019 long-term goal of achieving a \u201cZero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time\u201d \u2014 a living space where advanced appliances and services free people from routine housework and allow them to focus on higher-value activities.<\/p>\n
LG has been steadily advancing its vision of AI-enabled appliances through its UP appliances platform that provides continuous software updates and subscription-based services designed to reduce maintenance burdens.<\/p>\n
Visitors at CES 2026 will experience how LG CLOiD brings the Zero Labor Home concept closer to reality.<\/p>\n
In one demonstration, the robot prepares breakfast for a busy resident heading to work. Based on a preset meal plan, CLOiD retrieves milk from the refrigerator, places croissants in the oven and gathers essential items such as car keys or a presentation remote in line with the user\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n
After the resident leaves home, the robot continues its tasks by collecting laundry from a basket, loading it into the washing machine and folding towels once the wash cycle is complete. When a robot vacuum cleaner is operating, CLOiD clears obstacles from its path to ensure thorough cleaning. It also interacts directly with residents, such as counting repetitions during home workouts, highlighting its ability to provide daily care through natural communication.<\/p>\n
These functions are enabled by CLOiD\u2019s integrated ability to recognize complex situations, learn individual lifestyles and precisely control its movements.<\/p>\n
LG CLOiD features a humanoid-inspired design optimized for household environments. Its body consists of a head and two arms mounted on a wheeled autonomous base. The robot can adjust its height from 105 centimeters to 143 centimeters, while its approximately 87-centimeter-long arms allow it to reach both floor-level and elevated objects.<\/p>\n
Each arm offers seven degrees of movement \u2014 equivalent to the range of motion of a human arm \u2014 and five independently movable fingers, enabling delicate and precise tasks in spaces designed for human use.<\/p>\n

The wheeled lower body incorporates autonomous driving technology developed through LG\u2019s experience with robot vacuum cleaners, serving robots and delivery robots. With a low center of gravity, CLOiD maintains stability even if children or pets cling to it, while providing a steady base for fine upper-body movements. Compared with bipedal robots, this approach also improves cost efficiency and commercialization potential.<\/p>\n
The robot\u2019s head functions as a mobile AI home hub based on LG\u2019s Q9 platform. It houses the chipset, display, speakers, cameras, sensors and voice-based generative AI, allowing CLOiD to communicate through language and expressions, learn residents\u2019 lifestyles and control connected home appliances.<\/p>\n
At the core of CLOiD\u2019s intelligence are LG\u2019s proprietary Vision Language Model (VLM) and Vision Language Action (VLA) technologies, trained on tens of thousands of hours of household task data. These physical AI models enable the robot to interpret visual information as language, understand spoken commands in context and translate that understanding into concrete actions.<\/p>\n
LG is also introducing its new robot actuator brand, LG Actuator AXIUM, at CES 2026. The brand reflects LG\u2019s focus on high-performance actuators \u2014 a critical robot component that integrates motors, drivers and reducers, and accounts for a large share of manufacturing costs. Leveraging its experience producing more than 40 million high-performance motors annually, LG aims to expand its robotics component business.<\/p>\n
To strengthen its robotics capabilities, LG recently established HS Robotics Lab under its Home Appliance Solution Company.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to create an AI home where robots and AI appliances take care of household labor, allowing people to rest, enjoy life and focus on what truly matters,\u201d said Baek Seung-tae, president of LG\u2019s Home Appliance Solution Company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LG CLOiD folds freshly washed towels.
