LG announces CLOiD, a two-armed home robot on a wheeled base, demonstrated at CES 2026. Linked to the ThinQ ecosystem, it embodies the "Zero Labor Home" vision of a house where machines take care of chores.
What changes
- A home robot with two seven-degree-of-freedom arms on an autonomous wheeled base.
- Five independently actuated fingers on each hand for fine manipulation.
- Native ThinQ integration to orchestrate LG home appliances.
- LG also launches Actuator AXIUM, its brand of robot actuators.
### What changes On January 4, 2026, LG Electronics announced CLOiD, a home robot shown publicly for the first time at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. It carries the "Zero Labor Home" vision: cooking, starting a wash or folding laundry by coordinating the connected appliances in the house. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Form factor | head, tilting torso, two articulated arms, wheeled base | | Arms | 7 degrees of freedom each | | Hands | 5 independently actuated fingers | | Mobility | autonomous navigation derived from LG robot vacuums | | Ecosystem | ThinQ platform and ThinQ ON hub | The torso tilts so the robot can pick up objects from knee height. LG justifies the wheeled base by stability, safety and cost: the low center of gravity reduces the risk of tipping over. ### Why it matters LG is not selling a lab humanoid but an extension of its home appliances. CLOiD acts as a physical interface between the user and the machines already in the home. Alongside it, the group launched Actuator AXIUM, a range of actuators for service robots, positioning itself as a component supplier too. ### Key takeaways With CLOiD, Korea's big consumer electronics names enter the field of home robots with arms. No price or commercial timeline was announced at launch.
