LG Electronics is unveiling LG CLOiD, its new home robot, at CES 2026 (January 6-9 in Las Vegas), representing the company’s ambitious “Zero Labor Home” vision where household chores become automated, freeing families to focus on what truly matters. This isn’t just another robot concept—it’s LG’s bet on robotics as a core growth engine.

What Makes CLOiD Different?
CLOiD features human-like arms and dexterous hands designed to handle household chores autonomously, powered by Affectionate Intelligence technology that learns from interactions over time. Unlike conceptual robots, its compact, maneuverable form factor allows navigation through tight spaces commonly found in modern apartments and homes.
The robot’s “brain”—a chipset in its head—enables expressive communication, natural voice interaction, and intelligent navigation. It senses surroundings, adapts responses through repeated interactions, and provides increasingly personalized support for everyday tasks.
LG’s Robotics Strategy
LG has established HS Robotics Lab within its Home Appliance Solution Company to secure differentiated technologies and strengthen core robotics capabilities. The company is pursuing joint research initiatives and strategic partnerships with leading robotics firms across Korea and globally.
The Zero Labor Home concept promises meaningful reduction in daily chore burden, allowing customers to focus on people and moments that matter most. Visitors can experience CLOiD performing real-life household scenarios at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
The Future of Home Automation
With seven degrees of freedom per arm and fine motor control through actuated fingers, CLOiD handles delicate, precise tasks that typically require human dexterity. The robot integrates with LG’s ThinQ platform and future smart home ecosystems, coordinating tasks across connected devices.
LG views this launch as a milestone toward freeing customers from time-consuming housework demands, making the “Zero Labor Home” concept a practical reality rather than distant fiction.
