LG CLOiD Redefines Home Living by Making Daily Chores Effortless, Giving Customers More Time for What Matters Most
SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) will be showcasing its new home robot, LG CLOiD, for the first time at CES 2026, held in Las Vegas from January 6-9. Representing LG's continued progress in home robotics, LG CLOiD is designed to perform a wide range of indoor household tasks, enhancing everyday convenience and improving quality of life by making home management more efficient and intuitive.
Positioned as a home assistant, LG CLOiD embodies LG's vision of the "Zero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time" – a future where technology meaningfully reduces the burden of daily chores, allowing customers to focus more on the people and moments that matter most. The robot marks a significant milestone toward the company's long-term goal of freeing customers from the time-consuming demands of housework.
Featuring a suitable form factor optimized for today's living environments, LG CLOiD is built to perform a wide variety of tasks within the home. Its two articulated arms are powered by motors delivering seven degrees of freedom each, providing versatile motion similar to natural movements. Five individually actuated fingers on each hand provide advanced dexterity, allowing CLOiD to perform delicate and precise tasks that require fine motor control.
At the core of LG CLOiD is a chipset integrated into the head, functioning as the robot's "brain." This is complemented by a display, speaker, camera and an array of sensors that enable expressive communication, natural voice interaction and intelligent navigation. Powered by LG's Affectionate Intelligence technology, CLOiD is designed to sense its surroundings, interact in a natural and user-friendly way and refine its responses over time through repeated interactions – aiming to provide more personalized support for everyday tasks.
LG views robotics as a key future growth engine and is accelerating innovation in this strategically important sector. As part of this effort, the company has established HS Robotics Lab within its Home Appliance Solution Company to secure differentiated technologies and further strengthen its core robotics capabilities and product competitiveness. In parallel, LG is actively pursuing joint research initiatives and strategic partnerships with leading robotics companies in Korea and around the globe.
Visitors to CES 2026 can experience LG CLOiD and a variety of real-life "Zero Labor Home" scenarios at LG's booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center).

LG TO UNVEIL HOME ROBOT AT CES 2026, SHARING VISION FOR THE "ZERO LABOR HOME"
LG TO UNVEIL HOME ROBOT AT CES 2026, SHARING VISION FOR THE "ZERO LABOR HOME"
OSAKA, Japan, Dec. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Takara Standard Inc. (Headquarters: Joto-ku, Osaka; President and CEO: Dai Komori), a manufacturer of residential equipment centered on system kitchens and baths, has launched its "Space Project." This initiative aims to leverage the enamel technology refined over more than 110 years to enter the space-related business.
The company established a new "Business Development Division" in January 2025. It aims to create new businesses beyond its residential equipment operations by leveraging its unique technological assets. One candidate is the space-related business. The global space industry market is expanding rapidly. In Japan, the Cabinet Office's "Basic Space Plan" sets a goal to double the market size from ¥4 trillion in 2020 to ¥8 trillion by the early 2030s. While Japan's space industry has historically developed under government leadership, it is now transitioning from public to private sector involvement. Private companies' technological development and business expansion are being supported, making this a market expected to grow significantly in the future. Leveraging our enamel technology cultivated over more than 100 years since our founding, we aim to enter space-related businesses.
Our enamel, highly regarded in the field of residential equipment, excels in durability, corrosion resistance, and cleanability, maintaining its performance even under harsh conditions. Indeed, results from "thermal vacuum testing" simulating the vacuum and extreme temperatures of space, and "vibration testing" evaluating damage, durability, and reliability from rocket launch vibrations, indicate our enamel is highly likely to be usable in space environments without issues. Furthermore, it is known that "regolith" (lunar sand), which can be locally sourced on the moon, is primarily composed of glassy micro-particles. This suggests it could potentially serve as an alternative material for glass frit (the enamel used in enamelware). By applying these findings, we aim to realize comfortable living environments in space. This includes utilizing enamel's heat resistance and durability for lunar base construction materials, and leveraging its hygienic properties and ease of cleaning for interior finishes and plumbing in lunar habitats and space modules.
Moving forward, we will pursue new possibilities for enamel while considering collaboration with domestic and international research institutions and related companies. To further advance this effort, we have launched the "Space Project" led by the Business Development Division and the Research and Development Division. This project plans to conduct additional environmental tests, including radiation testing, to confirm that current enamel possesses the performance required for application in the space environment. We will also explore new raw materials and manufacturing methods, such as producing enamel using regolith (lunar sand) and utilizing solar heat in space—instead of the high-temperature kilns typically used for enamel firing—to simulate space conditions. Aiming for commercialization starting in fiscal year 2035, we will develop enamel applications for space by 2030. We then target space implementation and further value enhancement for enamel beyond 2030, when the space market is expected to mature.
Takara Standard will continue to respond to the needs of the times and contribute to building a sustainable future society.
- Takara standard's HORO material:
"HORO" is a material that combines the strength of iron with the beauty of glass. Takara standard developed this proprietary HORO material, which overcomes the breakage of glass, over many years. Takara standard's "High-Quality HORO" showcases the robustness of iron, providing resilience against impacts, while the glass layer acts as a barrier against dirt and moisture. The durability of the enamel surface makes it distinctly different from ordinary enamel pots or other materials.
Until recently, HORO's surface had a glossy look, however, new products combine enamel with a matt finish. This means Takara can provide a variety of surface design products.
- 10 points that demonstrate the strength of Takara standard's HORO:
1. Can quickly wipe up water, easy to clean
2. Resistant to moisture and mold
3. Conveniently magnetic and can be used as a family message board
4. Very shock and crack resistant
5. Thanks to the ink jet printing tech, it is available in a wide range of colors and designs
6. The material allows permanent maker pen to be wiped off with water, meaning family can leave temporary messages
7. Scratch resistant
8. Heat resistant, giving peace of mind
9. Environmentally friendly (easily recyclable material; no adhesive used in assembly)
10. Odor resistant
