LG Unveils New Robot at CES 2024 – Promises a “Zero-Work Home”
At this year’s CES, LG has taken the concept of a smart home to a whole new level with the introduction of a new robot designed to turn your home into a “zero-work home.”
The robot, standing at about a meter tall and equipped with two legs, is set to debut at CES next week. Described as a “moving smart home hub” by LG, the robot is designed to free customers from household chores and provide a better overall experience at home.
Using Qualcomm’s RB5 Robotics platform, the robot employs artificial intelligence to learn the user’s interests and behaviors, improving over time into a friendly home robot. It has the ability to connect to all smart home devices, monitor pets while the owner is away, and even analyze the home’s temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality.
But the most intriguing feature of LG’s robot is its ability to greet the homeowner at the door, analyze their emotional state, and play music or audio to boost their mood. It can also keep track of medication schedules and spot problems in the home as they happen.
While the concept of a robot that can take over household tasks and provide emotional support may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, LG sees it as part of a broader push to expand its smart home lineup with products that aim to take the effort out of daily tasks.
The company did not disclose prices or availability for the robot, but it plans to showcase it at its CES booth next week.
As LG continues to push the boundaries of smart home technology, the question remains: is the idea of a robot monitoring our homes and emotions helpful or creepy? The answer may become clearer as the robot makes its debut at CES and enters the market in the future.
