LG teased that it would be showing off a new robot for a \u201czero labor home<\/a>\u201d at CES<\/a>. We now have a bit more detail on what to expect. The company says that its CLOiD home robot<\/a> can fetch milk from the fridge, put a croissant in the oven, and even do some laundry, including folding and stacking clothes.<\/p>\n

CLOiD isn\u2019t the first laundry-folding robot<\/a> we\u2019ve seen, it\u2019s not even the only one at CES this year \u2014 SwitchBot\u2019s Onero H1<\/a> will also be able to tackle your hamper. LG\u2019s does seem particularly impressive, at least on paper. While the Onero looks like someone stuck some arms on Stop & Shop\u2019s Marty<\/a>, CLOiD has two fully articulated arms with seven degrees of motion mounted on a torso that can tilt and bend.<\/p>\n

Its head looks quite a lot like its Q9 robot<\/a>, minus the handle, and will be able to communicate through spoken language and facial expressions. (Getting side eye from an annoyed robot is truly the future.) But another big selling point will be CLOiD\u2019s ability to integrate with your smart home appliances. It\u2019s basically a smart home hub with hands, but its support for ThinQ and ThinQ ON allows it to work particularly seamlessly with LG products. (No surprise there.)<\/p>\n

Now whether or not anyone actually wants to have a robot wandering their home that they can boss around, or if they\u2019ll even be able to afford such a thing, remains to be seen. But LG is clearly hoping that we\u2019re all yearning for a mechanical butler \/ maid \/ chef \/ personal trainer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LG teased that it would be showing off a new robot for a \u201czero labor home\u201d at CES.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674655,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,201412,12,3692,326,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-674654","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-ces","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-robot","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115840513640076951","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
