LG Electronics is set to debut CLOiD, a humanoid-style robot designed for home environments, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The robot joins LG’s existing CLOi family, previously focused on wheeled service robots used in retail and hospitality. LG describes CLOiD as humanoid in form, featuring dual seven-degree-of-freedom arms and five-fingered hands, though the company has not confirmed whether the platform uses legs or a wheeled base.
According to LG, CLOiD is built as a mobile manipulator intended for indoor household tasks. The system integrates onboard displays, speakers, cameras, and multiple sensors to support voice interaction, expressive feedback, and autonomous navigation. While detailed task capabilities have not been disclosed, the hardware configuration suggests a focus on manipulation and assisted home services rather than full autonomy.
The launch underscores LG’s broader robotics strategy combining in-house development and external investment. Despite LG’s manufacturing scale, CLOiD enters a market where many humanoid home robots face limitations in AI reliability, task generalization, and real-world deployment readiness.
