LG Electronics has introduced CLOiD, a humanoid, AI-powered home robot designed to handle everyday household chores, during its keynote presentation at Consumer Electronics Show 2026 in Las Vegas.
The robot is built to integrate with LG’s smart home ecosystem and uses artificial intelligence to learn users’ routines, helping with tasks such as cooking support, laundry handling and dishwashing. According to LG, the goal is to reduce domestic workloads and move towards what it calls a «zero labour home».
CLOiD features a curved head unit that acts as its control centre, animated with expressive digital eyes. Equipped with cameras, sensors, speakers and a voice-based generative AI system, the robot can communicate through speech and facial expressions.
The humanoid torso includes adjustable height and articulated arms with seven degrees of freedom, designed to replicate the range of motion of a human arm. Each hand has five independently actuated fingers, allowing CLOiD to grasp and manipulate household objects in kitchens, laundry rooms and living spaces.
The robot moves on a wheeled base with autonomous navigation and a low centre of gravity to improve stability. During the CES presentation, a CLOiD prototype demonstrated its ability to load laundry into a washing machine.
LG has not yet announced when the robot will be available for consumer use. The debut highlights the growing focus on practical home robotics at CES 2026, as major technology companies race to bring artificial intelligence from screens into everyday physical environments.
Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that Hyundai Motor Group plans to deploy human-like robots in its factories starting in 2028, as companies worldwide compete to adopt the technology.
