LG Electronics (LG) has unveiled its smart home Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent at CES 2024.
LG’s smart home AI agent boasts robotic, AI and multi-modal technologies that enable it to move, learn, comprehend and engage in complex conversations – an all-round home manage and companion rolled into one.
Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company, said: “Our groundbreaking smart home AI agent combines cutting-edge autonomous mobility and AI technologies with advanced communication capabilities and services to help free customers from household chores.
“A smart life solution company, LG will continue to help customers experience a smarter, more enjoyable life at home.”
Functioning as a “moving” smart home hub, this AI agent connects with and controls smart home appliances and household IoT devices. Through LG’s latest collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the AI agent is equipped with its Qualcomm Robotics RB5 Platform, enabling powerful on-device AI features such as face and user recognition. 
The AI agent can even act as a pet monitor and security guard, providing users with the ability to see and care for their pets remotely and sending alerts if any unusual activity is detected.
The intelligent device can verbally interact with users and express emotions through movements made possible by its articulated leg joints.
Moreover, the use of multi-modal AI technology, which combines voice and image recognition along with natural language processing, enables the smart home AI agent to understand context and intentions as well as actively communicate with users.
Visitors to CES this week can see all of LG’s latest smart life solutions, including the smart home AI agent, at the company’s booth.
