LG Debuts CLOiD Home Robot at CES 2026: Folding Laundry, Making Breakfast for the 'Zero Labor Home'
拉斯维加斯—LG Electronics gave the first public demonstration of its CLOiD home robot at CES 2026, the centerpiece of the company's "Zero Labor Home" vision. The show opened January 6 in Las Vegas, with LG exhibiting at booth #15004 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In LG's demo scenarios, CLOiD takes milk from the refrigerator and puts a croissant in the oven for breakfast; after the residents leave, it starts the laundry and folds and stores the clothes once drying is done. The robot combines a head unit, a torso with two arms — seven degrees of freedom per arm and five independently actuated fingers per hand — and a wheeled base adapted from LG's robot-vacuum autonomous driving technology, with a low center of gravity for stability. The head doubles as a mobile AI home hub, packing a chipset, display, speaker, camera and sensors, with voice-based generative super intelligence (SI) interaction.
Behind CLOiD is LG's Physical AI stack: a Vision Language Model that turns images and video into language-level understanding, and a Vision Language Action model that turns understanding into physical actions, trained on tens of thousands of hours of household-task data. CLOiD works with the ThinQ platform and the ThinQ ON home hub. LG also launched a new robot-actuator brand, LG Actuator AXIUM.
Steve Baek, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company, said CLOiD is designed to make household work manageable so people can spend time on what matters, and that LG will keep pushing toward the Zero Labor Home. LG did not announce pricing or a release date for CLOiD.
