LG to debut bots at CES

The LG Rolling Bot is the company's most recent attempt at releasing consumer-geared robots

Moving beyond robot vacuum cleaners, LG is getting serious about robots at CES 2017. The South Korean company plans to introduce a new lineup that includes one capable of taking on Amazon’s Echo speakers. The “Hub Robot” as LG calls it serves as both a “smart home gateway and a personal assistant.” LG also plans to release a robot that can tend to your yard and garden. On the commercial side, they will be debuting models designed for public spaces like airports and hotels. There are no other details yet outside of what’s been released but should hear more soon with LG’s event at CES happening on January 4.
