LG unveils AI robot to let you do nothing at home

Adorable robot that looks like a character from a movie Pixarsomething like a distant relative Wall-Ethis is what will be presented LG V CES 2024 and that it promotes the concept of its vision of the “Zero Labor Home.”

LG’s smart home AI agent is equipped with robotic, artificial and multi-modal technologies that enable it to move, learn, understand and engage in complex conversations.

With an advanced bipedal wheel design, LG’s smart home AI agent can navigate around the house independently. The smart device can verbally interact with users and express emotions through movements made possible by the articulated joints of its legs. In addition, the use of multimodal AI technology, which combines voice and image recognition with natural language processing, allows the smart home AI agent to understand context and intent, and actively communicate with users.

Functioning as a “mobile” smart home hub, this AI agent connects to and controls smart home appliances and home IoT devices. Thanks to LG’s latest collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the AI ​​agent is powered by Qualcomm Robotics RB5 platform, delivering powerful on-device AI capabilities such as facial and user recognition. The AI ​​agent uses a built-in camera, speaker, and various sensors to collect real-time environmental data, including temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality. LG’s advanced artificial intelligence technologies analyze this data, constantly learning and combining it with external information. The AI ​​agent can even act as a pet monitor and guard, giving users the ability to remotely monitor and care for their pets and send alerts if any unusual activity is detected.

When a user returns home, an AI agent greets him at the front door, recognizes his emotions by analyzing his voice and facial expressions, and selects music or other content that matches his mood. It also helps users in their daily lives by providing transportation information, weather updates, a personal schedule, or medication reminders.

With the AI ​​Smart Home Agent and its active hub functions, LG aims to free users from the burden of household chores and aims to establish itself as a dominant player in the smart home market.

“Our innovative smart home AI agent combines advanced autonomous mobility and artificial intelligence technologies with advanced communication capabilities and services to help customers free themselves from household chores,” said Lu Jae-chul, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. . “As a smart living solutions company, LG will continue to help customers make their home lives smarter and more enjoyable.”
