LG is getting ready to take the wraps off a new robot it claims is capable of performing a “wide range” of household chores. The robot, called LG CLOiD, will make its debut at CES next month, featuring two articulated arms and five individually actuated fingers on each hand.
LG says CLOiD’s motor-equipped arms operate with seven degrees of freedom, indicating a more human-like range of motion and flexibility. Along with a chipset embedded inside LG CLOiD’s “head,” the robot comes with a display, speaker, camera, and sensors built for voice interaction, “expressive communication,” and navigation. It also features LG’s “Affectionate Intelligence” technology, which the company previously described as AI-powered tech designed to “better understand and empathize with customers.”
With CES just weeks away, we’ll only have to wait a little longer to find out what the rest of CLOiD looks like (and whether we’ll finally get a robot that can take out the trash for us).
