At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2024, LG Electronics is set to showcase a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent designed to revolutionize the smart home experience. This innovative AI agent is a testament to LG’s dedication to creating a “Zero Labor Home,” acting as a multifunctional home manager and interactive companion.
Innovative Navigation and Interaction
The AI agent from LG is uniquely designed with a ‘bi-wheel’ structure, allowing it to autonomously move around the household. Its ability to engage in meaningful dialogue and display emotions through its dynamic leg movements is a leap forward in robotic interaction.
This smart entity leverages multi-modal AI, integrating voice and visual recognition with natural language processing to seamlessly interact and understand the nuances of human communication.
A Central Hub for Home Management
As a central command center, the LG AI agent has the ability to synchronize with home appliances and IoT devices. In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the agent is powered by the Qualcomm® Robotics RB5 Platform, enhancing its capabilities with robust on-device AI, including recognition features.
It utilizes an array of sensors and a camera to monitor the home environment, adapting and learning from the data it collects to improve its functionality as both a pet caretaker and a security system.
Adaptive and Energy-Efficient
LG’s smart home AI agent not only offers surveillance when the house is empty but also works to conserve energy. It can independently manage the household by checking for open windows, ensuring lights are switched off, and disconnecting devices that are not in use to save electricity.
Personalized Welcome and Daily Assistance
Upon the homeowner’s arrival, the AI agent provides a personalized greeting, understanding the user’s emotional state and setting the atmosphere with appropriate music or content.
It further simplifies daily routines by offering updates on transportation, weather forecasts, schedules, and even health-related reminders.
LG’s Vision for a Chore-Free Household
Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company, emphasizes the ambition of LG to alleviate the workload of domestic chores through this advanced AI agent. LG’s commitment to enhancing home living stands firm as they strive to deliver a smarter and more delightful domestic environment.
CES 2024 attendees can witness LG’s innovative smart home solutions, including the cutting-edge AI agent, in person at LG’s booth from January 9-12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
