LG Launches CLOiD, a Two-Armed AI Home Robot Set for CES 2026 Demos

LG positions the robot as the hub of a Zero Labor Home using vision-language AI plus ThinQ integration to coordinate chores.

Overview

  • LG says CES attendees will see CLOiD retrieve milk, heat a croissant, start laundry cycles, and fold and stack clothes in staged home scenarios from January 6–9 in Las Vegas.
  • CLOiD combines a Vision Language Model and a Vision Language Action system trained on tens of thousands of hours of household task data to interpret scenes and execute multi-step actions.
  • The hardware includes a tilting torso with two seven‑degree‑of‑freedom arms and five‑finger hands on a wheeled base with autonomous navigation designed for stability in living spaces.
  • The head unit functions as a mobile AI home hub with a chipset, display, speaker, cameras, sensors, and voice-based generative AI for communication and appliance control through ThinQ and ThinQ ON.
  • LG also introduced its AXIUM actuator brand for robot joints, framing actuators as a strategic component focus, while pricing, availability, and independent performance verification remain undisclosed.
