LG to unveil a new home robot helper at CES 2026

LG is about to show the future of the home robotics time CES: in 2026

The Korean technology conglomerate announced a press release that it will unveil its newest home assistant bot at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January. Dubbed CLOiD, the robot is “designed to perform a wide range of indoor household tasks, improving everyday comfort and improving quality of life by making home management more efficient and intuitive.”

It would theoretically do this with the help of two articulated hands, each with five finger-like digits that are said to help it perform delicate tasks. The weapons themselves have seven degrees of freedom. In its head is a chip that acts like a brain, complete with a camera, screen, speaker and other sensors that it will use to navigate its environment and communicate with its owners. It’s powered by LG AI and, according to the company, will refine its responses over time to become more personalized to the needs of the people it interacts with on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, that’s all we’ve got in CLOiD right now. LG has not released actual photos of the robot, nor has it revealed its price or release date. Given that this is at CES, there’s a real possibility that CLOiD is designed to hit the mass market after a very long time, or maybe never. We’ll all find out together in just a week or two.
