AI-powered technology handles laundry and other household duties.
January 5, 2026
By: Melissa Meisel
Rosey from “The Jetsons” is a reality at LG Electronics. At CES 2026—set for Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas—the Happi Top 30 company will showcase LG Cloid, an AI-powered home robot to handle cleaning tasks and more.
According to the company, the robot represents its “Zero Labor Home” vision where “intelligent machines” handle everyday chores through robotics and connected home integration.
The robot uses AI and vision-based technology to perform household tasks like laundry, connecting with LG’s ThinQ ecosystem that manages home electronics. To learn more about the latest in laundry detergents, check out our January 2026 article here.
By unveiling its new technology, LG takes a “major step” toward AI-driven homes, combining robotics, smart appliances and Physical AI to make housework “effortless and time-saving,” it contends.
“The LG home robot is designed to naturally engage with and understand the humans it serves, providing an optimized level of household help,” said Steve Baek, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We will continue our relentless efforts to achieve our Zero Labor Home vision, making housework a thing of the past so that customers can spend more time on the things that really matter.”At CES 2026, the company will show the robot operating in diverse home environments. In one scenario, the robot prepares breakfast. After household occupants leave, it initiates laundry cycles and folds and stacks garments after drying.
LG Cloid consists of a head unit, torso with two articulated arms and a wheeled base equipped with autonomous navigation. The torso can tilt to adjust its height, enabling the robot to pick up objects from knee level and above.
Each arm has “seven degrees of freedom” matching the mobility of a human arm. The shoulder, elbow and wrist allow forward, backward, rotational and lateral motion, while each hand includes five independently actuated fingers for fine manipulation. This configuration allows the robot to handle a wide range of household objects and operate in kitchens, laundry rooms and living areas, said the company.
The wheeled base uses autonomous driving technology derived from LG’s experience with robot vacuums.
