"The CLOiD has a surprisingly cute "head unit" that's equipped with a display, speakers, cameras and other sensors. "Collectively, these elements allow the robot to communicate with humans through spoken language and 'facial expressions,' learn the living environments and lifestyle patterns of its users and control connected home appliances based on its learnings," LG says in its press release. The robot also has two robotic arms - complete with shoulder, elbow and wrist joints - and hands with fingers that can move independently."
"The company didn't share images of the CLOiD's base, but it uses wheels and technology similar to what the appliance maker has used for robot vacuums. The company notes that its arms are able to pick up objects that are "knee level" and higher, so it won't be able to pick up things from the floor. LG says it will show off the robot completing common chores in a variety of scenarios, like starting laundry cycles and folding freshly washed clothes."
LG unveiled CLOiD, an AI-powered humanoid robot designed to perform household chores such as folding laundry, unloading the dishwasher, serving food, and starting laundry cycles. The robot features a head unit with a display, speakers, cameras and sensors that enable spoken communication, facial expressions, learning of living environments and lifestyle patterns, and control of connected appliances. CLOiD has two robotic arms with shoulder, elbow and wrist joints and independently moving fingers, capable of picking objects at knee level or higher but not from the floor. The robot uses a wheeled base similar to LG robot vacuums and is currently presented as a concept under continued development.
