LGs New AI Agent Robot Will Help You Out Around The House
LG is a big company. I remember working at Best Buy and you could find at least one LG product in almost every aisle of the store. From computers to televisions and refrigerators, the company deals in different types of consumer technology.
LG also comes out with crazy products every now and then, and that might be what we're seeing here. In a press release, the company unveiled AI Agent, a small, autonomous intelligent robot that the company says is “equipped with robotics, artificial intelligence, and multimedia technologies that enable it to move, learn, understand, and communicate.” "Participation in complications." "Conversations."
LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution President Liu Jae-chul said in a statement that his new agent "can help customers get rid of household chores."
“Our revolutionary smart home AI agent combines advanced autonomous mobility and AI technologies with advanced communications capabilities and services to help customers take care of their homes. As a company developing smart home solutions, LG will continue to help customers live smarter and more comfortably at home.”
The AI agent has a "bipedal" wheel design that LG says allows for "autonomous navigation around the home." He says it can not only communicate with users but also with their emotions through movement. The company says it uses multimodal AI that combines speech and image recognition with natural language processing to understand context and intent. It also has a built-in camera, speaker system, and sensors for navigating around the house.
As a “cellular” smart home hub, this AI agent connects to and controls your smart home and home IoT devices. Thanks to LG's recent collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the AI Agent is equipped with the Qualcomm® Robotics RB5 platform, which provides powerful on-device AI functions, such as facial and user recognition. The AI agent uses a built-in camera, speaker, and various sensors to collect real-time environmental data, including temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality. LG's advanced artificial intelligence technologies continuously analyze and learn from this data and integrate it with external information. The AI agent can also act as a pet monitor and security guard, allowing users to monitor and care for their pets remotely, and send alerts when unusual activity is detected.
LG says its AI agent can monitor the home itself and even send a notification to the homeowner if it detects, for example, an open window or a light on when they're not home. It can also be connected to a smart outlet to turn devices on and off. It will also meet you when you come home and try to play music that suits your mood.
When the user returns home, an AI agent greets them at the front door, detects their emotions by analyzing their voice and facial expressions, and selects music or other content based on their mood. It also supports users in their daily lives by providing detailed transportation information, weather updates, personal schedules or medication reminders. With its AI smart home agent and Active Center features, LG aims to free users from the burden of household chores and establish itself as a dominant player in the smart home market.
LG says it will unveil the AI Agent at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 9-12. The company also recently announced a new line of gaming monitors, a 98-inch Mini LED TV and its latest line of smart displays. All of this will also be revealed at CES in a few weeks.
