Like stationary smart home assistants like Alexa or Apple HomePod, the LG robot can inform you about the weather and remind you to take your medicine on time.

The robot runs on the Robotics RB5 platform, which includes a combination of hardware and software that runs Qualcomm’s artificial intelligence program. Some of these include the ability to recognize faces and voices, process the emotions of those around you, and participate in conversation.

LG says this device can greet you at the door, analyze your emotions, and play music to cheer you up or put you to sleep. He can even make an “emote” by changing his pose thanks to the hinged joints of his legs. Although this is a very cute feature, it may not be of practical use.

It’s not yet clear whether it can connect to a “smart home” system and control, for example, a thermostat or other devices. LG has not yet responded to comments on the issue and said the price of the robot will be announced at a later date.

Because it can move freely you can program it to take care of your pets while you are away, and send alerts directly to your smartphone if “unusual activity is detected.” Using the same monitoring tools, the bot can act as a mobile “bodyguard” and send you alerts if there is activity at home while you are away. Or, more likely, you’ll say you left the kitchen light on.
