LG's CLOiD robot can fold laundry and serve food very slowly LG's vision for a zero labor home feels more aspirational than actually possible. When LG announced that it would demo a laundry-folding, chore-doing robot at CES 2026, I was immediately intrigued. For years, I've wandered the Las Vegas Convention Center halls and wondered when someone might create a robot that can tackle the mundane but useful tasks I despise like folding laundry. With CLOiD (pronounced like Floyd), LG has proven that this is theoretically possible, but probably not likely to happen any time soon. I went to the company's CES booth to watch its demonstration of CLOiD's abilities, which also include serving food, fetching objects and fitness coaching. During a very carefully choreographed 15-minute presentation, I watched CLOiD grab a carton of milk out of the fridge, put a croissant in an oven, sort and fold some laundry and grab a set of keys off a couch and hand them to the human presenter.

The CLOiD is an AI-powered humanoid that can do your chores for you. LG has unveiled its humanoid robot that can handle household chores. After teasing the CLOiD last week, the company has offered its first look at the AI-powered robot it claims can fold laundry, unload the dishwasher, serve food and help out with other tasks. 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 .

However, LG has not yet given a specific example of a task CLOiD can handle.
