LG will present a home robot named CLOiD at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. With humanoid robotics sure to feature heavily at this year’s tech conference, LG has teased its home assistant before a full unveiling in January.

The company says CLOiD’s two articulated arms with five individually actuated fingers are designed to help with a variety of household tasks. However, LG has not yet given a specific example of a task CLOiD can handle. We’re also not sure what it looks like, because aside from a couple of very close-up images of CLOiD’s hands, LG is keeping what the robot looks like under wraps until the show.

LG said CLOiD is part of the company’s vision that “Zero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time.” It said its robot is a step toward a company goal of “freeing customers from the time-consuming demands of housework.”

CLOiD’s chipset is housed in its head, which also sports a display, speaker, camera and a bevy of sensors meant to enable expressive communication. LG says its new robot is powered by its “Affectionate Intelligence” technology and is designed to interact in a neutral, user-friendly way. It’s also designed to refine its responses through repeated interactions with a user.

CES often plays host to proof-of-concept products that offer a window into the future but may not make it to market. It remains to be seen if CLOiD is simply a booth-side attention-getter or something with real potential. Visitors can see CLOiD handle some real-life scenarios at LG’s booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
