Next week in Las Vegas, LG Electronics will preview robot technologies to showcase LG progress in artificial intelligence, expected to be a major theme of CES 2017.

By leveraging analytical processing power, LG's robotic lineup will be able to navigate complex environments and decipher the most efficient path to accomplish tasks.

LG technologies already found in the LG HOM-BOT automated vacuum cleaner, LG's first non-cleaning robots are equipped with AI technologies enabling them to be employed in the home, in tandem with other smart appliances, outdoors, as well as in public spaces:

• LG's "Hub Robot" designed for home use will double as a smart home gateway and a personal assistant for consumers.
• Another robot previewed at CES 2017 will demonstrate new capabilities for tending to one's yard and garden.
• LG's robot lineup will also include models designed for commercial use in public spaces such as airports and hotels.

LG also said it will gradually expand to the public sector, not just the business-to-consumer (B2C) sector in the robotics industry.
