⬤ LG pulled back the curtain on its CLOiD household robot at CES 2026, and they didn't just talk about it—they put it to work. The robot handled laundry live on stage, showing it's more than just another flashy tech concept. LG's making it clear they're aiming for something you could actually use around the house.
⬤ CLOiD packs some serious hardware. Each robotic arm has seven degrees of freedom, giving it the flexibility to move like a human arm would. The five-fingered hands grab and handle objects with real precision, while the tilting torso lets it adjust its reach and posture as needed. It rolls around on a wheeled base, navigating your home while juggling multiple tasks in sequence.
⬤ The laundry demo wasn't just for show—it proved CLOiD can mix dexterity with mobility to knock out multi-step chores. LG emphasized that the robot operates independently, staying stable and controlled while safely working alongside people in typical home settings.
⬤ With CLOiD's CES 2026 debut, LG's pushing consumer robotics forward. We're moving past single-trick gadgets toward robots that can actually tackle everyday household tasks through coordinated movement and smart object handling.
