LG Electronics to unveil AI home robot LG CLOiD at CES 2026

LG Electronics unveils its AI-powered home robot, LG CLOiD, at CES 2026, designed to manage schedules and automate household chores.

"We will continue our relentless efforts to achieve our Zero Labor Home vision - Steve Baek"

Seoul, January 5

South Korean technology giant LG Electronics Inc. is set to debut its next-generation artificial intelligence home robot, LG CLOiD, at the Consumer Electronics Show starting Tuesday in Las Vegas, United States, as per a report by Pulse, the English service of Maeil Business News Korea.

The device is engineered to function as an "in-home secretary" that manages task priorities by analysing the owner's schedule and the specific home environment. Beyond scheduling, the robot executes various household chores by coordinating with multiple connected home appliances to streamline daily routines.

The robot is designed to handle specific morning sequences, "for instance, the robot prepares breakfast by taking milk out of the refrigerator and placing croissants in the oven on behalf of its owner, who is busy getting ready for work," the report said.

It further assists by gathering essential items like car keys and presentation materials before the owner departs the residence. During daytime hours, the robot manages laundry tasks, including moving clothes from baskets to the washing machine and folding them once the cycle finishes.

The technical framework of LG CLOiD features a proprietary chipset that integrates LG's vision-language model and vision-language-action technologies. This physical AI model has undergone training using tens of thousands of hours of household task data, which the company describes as an optimisation specifically for the requirements of a home robot environment.

The deployment of this technology aligns with the company's broader strategic goals for domestic automation.

"The LG CLOiD home robot is designed to naturally engage with and understand the humans it serves, providing an optimized level of household help," Steve Baek, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company said in a statement. "We will continue our relentless efforts to achieve our Zero Labor Home vision, making housework a thing of the past so that customers can spend more time on the things that really matter."

Finally! Something to handle the morning chaos. Getting kids ready for school while trying to leave for work is a daily battle. If this robot can actually manage breakfast and gather my things, it would be a game-changer. Hope LG considers Indian kitchens and routines in its programming.

The tech is impressive, no doubt. But croissants and milk? 😅 LG, please demo with parathas and chai! Jokes aside, the core function is useful. My main concern is privacy. A robot with vision-language models constantly analyzing my home and schedule? Data security better be ironclad.

As someone living in Bangalore with a demanding tech job, this speaks to me. The mental load of managing the house is real. If this can coordinate appliances and handle laundry, it frees up mental space. The key will be reliability—will it work during our frequent power fluctuations?

While the vision is futuristic, I have a respectful criticism. We must not lose the human touch in our homes. Sharing chores can be family bonding time. Also, in our culture, 'atithi devo bhava'—how will a robot handle unexpected guests? Technology should assist, not replace human warmth.

Folding clothes automatically? Sign me up! That's the most tedious part. If this works as advertised, it could be a huge help for dual-income families. Just hoping the AI can understand instructions in Indian English and maybe even a few local languages for wider adoption.
