LG Electronics is taking another step toward realizing a long-standing futuristic dream – a home where household chores are performed by machines, while humans remain the main beneficiaries of comfort and free time. The Korean giant has unveiled a new-generation home robot powered by artificial intelligence called LG CLOiD. According to The Korea Times, the full presentation of the device will take place on January 6 at CES 2026, where LG traditionally showcases its most ambitious developments.
LG CLOiD is conceived not as just another “smart gadget,” but as a полноценный digital assistant integrated into everyday human life. The robot is capable of performing a wide range of household tasks, controlling home appliances, and interacting with residents in a highly natural manner. At the core of its operation is an understanding of the user’s daily routine, habits, and the context of the surrounding environment. In essence, this is a system that does not simply respond to commands, but attempts to anticipate the owner’s needs.

The robot’s concept fully aligns with LG’s long-term strategy, which the company refers to as creating a “home without routine work.” The idea is simple yet radical: to free people from household duties so that time at home once again becomes time for communication, relaxation, and personal life, rather than an endless to-do list.
In demonstration scenarios, LG CLOiD appears as a next-level personal home assistant. In one illustrative episode, the robot helps a person who is rushing to work. Based on predefined algorithms and an analysis of the owner’s habits, it independently takes milk out of the refrigerator, places croissants in the oven, monitors the breakfast preparation process, and simultaneously gathers necessary items, such as apartment keys. When the person leaves the house, the robot does not “switch off,” but continues to perform household tasks, maintaining order and managing smart appliances.
From a design perspective, LG CLOiD features a humanoid form factor, which, according to the engineers, is intended to simplify the robot’s integration into existing living spaces. The device consists of a body with a “head” and two manipulators and moves using a wheeled base. This approach makes it possible to combine mobility, stability, and energy efficiency. The robot can adjust its height within a range of 105 to 143 centimeters, adapting to different tasks and interior elements. The length of its arms is about 87 centimeters, allowing it to reach objects on shelves, tables, and inside household appliances.

The head of LG CLOiD serves as the central control hub of the smart home. This is where the computing power and sensor system are concentrated. The robot is built on the LG Q9 platform and is equipped with a chipset, display, speakers, cameras, a set of sensors, and a voice-based generative artificial intelligence. This enables it not only to execute commands, but also to engage in dialogue, recognize its surroundings, analyze ongoing events, and make decisions in real time.
LG emphasizes that the key goal of the project is not to demonstrate technology for technology’s sake, but to change the quality of life. Company representatives explicitly state that they aim to create a home in which robots and AI-powered household appliances take over everyday duties, freeing people from routine and allowing them to focus on what truly matters.
The emergence of LG CLOiD can be seen as another sign that the home robotics market is moving beyond the stage of experiments and concepts. If previously such devices existed mainly as prototypes or narrowly specialized assistants, large corporations are now beginning to speak of a full-fledged “robot-enabled smart home” ecosystem as the near future. CES 2026 will likely become the platform where LG attempts to convince both the market and consumers that this future is not as distant as it seemed just a few years ago.
