Overview
- LG showed a working prototype in staged demos at its CES event, where CLOiD rolled onstage, interacted with presenters, and started a laundry cycle.
- Demonstrations highlighted tasks such as fetching milk, placing a croissant in an oven, unloading dishes, and folding and stacking clothes.
- CLOiD’s hardware includes a head unit that serves as a mobile AI hub, a tilting torso, two seven-degree-of-freedom arms with five-fingered hands, and a wheeled base with autonomous navigation.
- The robot runs LG’s Physical AI stack that combines a Vision Language Model for scene understanding with a Vision Language Action model to translate inputs into motor actions trained on extensive household-task data.
- LG also introduced its LG Actuator AXIUM brand for robotic joints, signaling a components strategy to support future service robots and robotized appliances.
