Many people hate doing housework, washing, etc. So much so that many resort to the services of a person to do the work for them. But thanks to artificial intelligence, it will soon be possible to no longer have to do all of these tasks!
It is the Korean company LG Electronics (LG) that will soon present its new artificial intelligence (AI) agent for the home at CES 2024.
This home intelligence AI agent is equipped with robotic, AI and multimodal technologies. This allows him to learn, move, understand and even participate in complex conversations.
LG's goal is to make this tool a home manager and a companion at the same time. The company's goal is therefore to create a “troublesome” house.
The bipedal robot can move around the house autonomously and even talk to users and express emotions. The joints of his legs give him movement. Using multimodal AI that combines voice and image recognition with natural language processing, this robot can now understand the context and intentions of its users and communicate with them.
The AI agent connects to smart home devices to control them. It is equipped with the Qualcomm Robotics RB5 platform, which allows it to recognize the faces of its users. With its camera, speaker and multiple sensors, it records real-time environmental data such as temperature, humidity and indoor air quality.

It then analyzes this data to continuously learn.
The robot can monitor your pets and act as a security guard even in your absence. So when you're out of the house, you'll be notified if anything unusual happens and can see and care for your pets remotely.
The robot can easily patrol the house and send you notifications if a window is left open. It can also turn off your unused devices, saving money on your electricity bill.
When you return home, you will be greeted by the robot, which will recognize your emotions based on your voice and facial expressions and play music adapted to your mood. It can also give you information about road traffic, public transport, weather and your personal schedule, reminding you when to take your medication.
“Our revolutionary smart home AI agent combines cutting-edge autonomous mobility and artificial intelligence technologies with advanced communication capabilities and services to help customers free themselves from household chores,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, President of LG Electronics , a home appliance company and air quality improvement systems company. As a smart home solutions company, LG will continue to help customers live smarter and more comfortable lives at home. »
