LG will be present at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 in Las Vegas to unveil a new line of robots.

The South Korean electronics company stated that robots and artificial intelligence (AI) would dominate CES 2017 and the company will launch at least three new robots. These robots can be used in and around the home, and some are for commercial applications. Previously, LG launched an automated vacuum cleaner. However, the company’s new robot models are described as LG’s first “non-cleaning robots.”

It can also serve as a personal assistant just like Google Home and Amazon Echo. Next in line is a robot with new capabilities that will help people with their yard and garden. 

The last robot in LG’s lineup is designed for commercial use in public places like hotels and airports. The company said that it would help improving a traveler’s experience with assistance and information.
