LG Demos CLOiD Home Robot at CES 2026 to Showcase Physical AI for Chores

The company positioned the wheeled humanoid as the centerpiece of its Zero Labor Home vision.

Overview

  • Live CES demonstrations showed the robot preparing breakfast items, loading a washer and folding towels in staged home scenarios.
  • Reporters noted mixed performance, with successful pick-and-place tasks alongside sluggish movements and a failed key grasp during one demo.
  • CLOiD combines a wheeled base with two seven‑degree‑of‑freedom arms, five‑finger hands, and a head unit that functions as a mobile AI hub with display, sensors and voice interaction.
  • LG says its Physical AI pairs a Vision Language Model with a Vision Language Action system trained on tens of thousands of hours of household task data to turn perception and voice commands into actions.
  • LG also introduced its LG Actuator AXIUM component brand and highlighted tight integration with the ThinQ platform, while withholding pricing, production plans and availability.
