LG to present AI robots at CES 2017 for outdoor public use

LG is planning to show "advanced robot technologies" at CES 2017 next week to showcase new innovations in artificial intelligence. The robots aren't your run-of-the-mill smart toasters or vacuum bots either, with some being designed for public use outdoors. There looks to be three new AI bots on the way, one for use at home, serving as a "smart home gateway" and personal assistant for owners: think, I, Robot. Another model "will demonstrate new capabilities for tending to one's yard and garden": think, The Lawnmower Man. The third, and perhaps most interesting type of robot LG has lined up includes "models designed for commercial use in public spaces such as airports and hotels to help improve the traveler's experience": think, Johnny Cab in Total Recall.
