LG to unveil a new home robot helper at CES 2026

LG is set to show off the future of home robotics at CES 2026.

The Korean tech conglomerate stated in a press release that it will unveil its newest domestic helper bot at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January. Named "CLOiD," the robot is "designed to perform a wide range of indoor household tasks, enhancing everyday convenience and improving quality of life by making home management more efficient and intuitive."

It will theoretically do so with the help of two articulated arms, each with five finger-like digits on the end that are said to help it perform delicate tasks. The arms themselves have seven degrees of freedom. There's a chip in its head that acts like a brain, complemented by a camera, a display, a speaker, and other sensors that it will use to navigate the 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 whoever it interacts with on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, that's about all we've got on CLOiD right now. LG didn't share any real photos of the robot or disclose its cost or release date. Given that this is at CES, there's a real possibility that CLOiD is designed to come to mass market a very long time from now, or maybe even never. We'll all find out together in just a week or two.
