<\/p>\n

As much as you think the robot is taking away jobs, it is going to stay. Many places are already adopting robots to perform simple tasks.<\/p>\n

I can imagine as robots get more complex, they can really begin to replace human on specific tasks. However, that can also open the doors to other job opportunities – Robot supervisor, anyone?<\/p>\n

Here are the descriptions of the three robots. I like the Porter Robot because I really think that it is a waste of manpower to just bring luggage to the hotel room. But looking at the picture of the robot, it seems to be able to carry only one big luggage at a time.<\/p>\n

Check out the descriptions of the robots below.<\/p>\n

Serving Robot<\/h2>\n

The purpose of the Serving Robot is to deliver meals and drinks to guests and customers at hotels and airport lounges quickly and efficiently. The robot can deliver food or refreshments around the clock and with its built-in sliding tray, present the tray to the customer for easy removal. Once the delivery is confirmed, the Serving Robot makes its way back on its own.<\/p>\n

Porter Robot<\/h2>\n

Designed to deliver luggage to the guests\u2019 rooms, the Porter Robot minimizes the inconvenience that may result from slow service and long wait times during a hotel stay. The Porter Robot can also handle express check-in and check-out service and take care of payment, allowing busy guests to check out and have their luggage delivered to a waiting car in a fraction of the time.<\/p>\n

Shopping Robot<\/h2>\n

For an improved\u00a0shopping experience at premium supermarkets, customers can scan items using a barcode reader on\u00a0LG<\/span>\u2019s\u00a0Shopping Cart Robot\u00a0to view product prices and see their complete shopping list on the face display. The robot can also guide shoppers to the products they select on a smartphone app.<\/p>\n

LG EXPLORING NEW COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES\u00a0WITH EXPANDING ROBOT PORTFOLIO<\/h2>\n

Robots the Other Key Factor of LG\u2019s Transformation into an AI Company<\/em><\/p>\n

SEOUL, Jan. 4, 2018 <\/strong>\u2014 Following the introduction of the company\u2019s robot lineup a year ago, LG Electronics (LG) continues to push the envelope with the unveiling of three more work robots at CES 2018. LG is introducing three new concept robots specifically developed for commercial use at hotels, airports and supermarkets. These new robots represent LG\u2019s commitment to expanding its business into a future growth engine based on its leading robotics technology.<\/p>\n

All part of LG\u2019s new CLOi (pronounced KLOH-ee) robot brand, the Serving Robot, Porter Robot and Shopping Cart Robot follow in the footsteps of the Airport Guide Robot and the Airport Cleaning Robot that recently completed successful trial runs at Korea\u2019s Incheon International Airport. The Lawn Mowing Robot and the affable Hub Robot, which recently participated in a trial at one of Korea\u2019s largest financial institutions providing information and servicing customers at the bank\u2019s branches, are also part of the CLOi family.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the Serving Robot is to deliver meals and drinks to guests and customers at hotels and airport lounges quickly and efficiently. The robot can deliver food or refreshments around the clock and with its built-in sliding tray, present the tray to the customer for easy removal. Once the delivery is confirmed, the Serving Robot makes its way back on its own.<\/p>\n

Designed to deliver luggage to the guests\u2019 rooms, the Porter Robot minimizes the inconvenience that may result from slow service and long wait times during a hotel stay. The Porter Robot can also handle express check-in and check-out service and take care of payment, allowing busy guests to check out and have their luggage delivered to a waiting car in a fraction of the time.<\/p>\n

LG is also applying its robotics know-how to improve the shopping experience at premium supermarkets. With the help of LG\u2019s Shopping Cart Robot, customers can scan items using a barcode reader on the robot to view product prices and see their complete shopping list on the face display. The robot can also guide shoppers to the products they select on a smartphone app.<\/p>\n

LG\u2019s CLOi robots will be developed in parallel to ThinQ products, LG\u2019s AI brand for consumer electronics and home appliances. LG CLOi is LG\u2019s brand designed to deliver both emotional interaction and innovative convenience to customers utilizing AI technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an important part of our future growth engine, LG is committed to expanding its portfolio of robots that can deliver real convenience and innovation in our customers\u2019 lives,\u201d said Ryu Hye-jung, head of the smart solution business division of LG\u2019s Home Appliance & Air Solutions Company. \u201cWe will continue to develop a wide range of products across commercial and home robots while seeking new opportunities to contribute to the advancement of the robotics industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
