LG To Reveal CLOiD Home Assistant Robot during CES 2026

Companies are beginning to reveal previews of the products and concepts they plan to showcase at CES 2026, which will be held in Las Vegas in January, and among them, LG has sparked interest once more, this time by announcing CLOiD, a new humanoid robot designed to help with household tasks.

CLOiD, according to the South Korean giant, is a humanoid with two articulated arms and five individually controlled fingers on each hand. While the company has yet to reveal detailed technical specifications or a finalized design, it claims that the robot is being developed to assist users with various domestic tasks. At this time, LG has not specified which household tasks CLOiD will be capable of performing.

The robot is part of LG’s larger vision of a “zero-labor home,” which aims to reduce the time and effort people spend doing routine chores while increasing opportunities for leisure and quality time. LG defines CLOiD as a step toward relieving users of time-consuming domestic responsibilities.

In terms of hardware, CLOiD is said to have a chip housed in its head, as well as a display, camera, speaker, and various sensors. These components are designed to help users communicate and interact expressively. LG also claims that the robot is powered by “Affective Intelligence,” a system that allows for neutral and friendly interactions; CLOiD is expected to refine its responses over time as a result of repeated interactions, adapting to user behavior and preferences.

Despite the limited information available at the moment, LG is expected to provide more details during CES 2026, which runs from January 6 to January 9. Given that the event frequently features conceptual products that showcase long-term visions rather than immediate commercial releases, it is unclear whether CLOiD is a near-market product or primarily a concept. This question, however, is expected to be answered during the exhibition.
