LG Electronics is turning its Zero Labor Home vision into a tangible reality at CES 2026 . At the event, they unveil LG CLOiD™ , an AI-powered home robot designed to take over time-consuming chores. It coordinates seamlessly with connected appliances.
By combining robotics, smart home integration, and “ Physical AI ,” LG is making a strong play for the next era of fully automated home living. LG CLOiD and the Zero Labor Home LG CLOiD™ is an AI-enabled home robot built to perform and orchestrate everyday tasks
like cooking, laundry, and household tidying. It works across LG’s connected appliance ecosystem.
