Profile notes

• LG's 2017 home robot never shipped, while CLOiD uses the CLOi name for a different machine

  reviewed 2026-07-20 - LG demonstrated the CLOi Hub Robot as a home assistant in 2017 but did not establish a retail line. The 2026 CLOiD concept is a mobile manipulator with a different body and capability thesis. Shared branding reflects continuing research, not product continuity or fulfilment of the earlier concept.
