Two Most Popular Intelligent Personal Assistant Services
BERLIN, August 30, 2017 — LG Electronics (LG) continues to work earnestly behind
the scenes to expand its smart home partnership strategy to work with as many
different smart platforms and services as possible. Committed to its Open
Partnership, Open Platform, and Open Connectivity strategy, LG has been
steadily building up its smart ecosystem with a smart lineup that includes not only
intelligent home appliances but also robots that greet, clean and mow, to be on
display at IFA 2017 in Berlin from September 1-6.

With Wi-Fi built
into all of its 2017 appliances, LG makes it especially easy for its customers
to connect and interact. LG’s Smart InstaView Door-in-Door™ refrigerator
powered by LG’s own webOS smart platform is compatible with all the convenient
features provided by Amazon Alexa voice service. With more than 15,000 skills,
Alexa can control thousands of smart home devices, play music, arrange car service,
set timers, and more.

New for 2017, the
Google Assistant is now compatible with all of LG smart home devices using
either Google Home, your eligible Android phone or your iPhone, you can control
connected appliances hands-free. Using the Google Assistant, users can perform
a range of tasks such as checking the remaining time for a wash cycle to finish
or telling the refrigerator to create more ice. And because the Assistant on
Google Home can distinguish one voice from another, the entire family can get
in on the action.

LG also utilizes
its own intelligent voice platform, Deep ThinQ, as well as Amazon Alexa and
Google Assistant. SmartThinQ Hub plays a central role in LG’s smart home
platform by collecting information from smart appliances as well as
conventional devices connected to SmartThinQ sensors via Wi-Fi, Zigbee and
Bluetooth. Information is displayed in the form of notifications on the LCD
screen or announced through its embedded speaker.

LG will be
showcasing its intelligent robots for the first time in Europe at the Berlin
show, led by the very approachable Hub Robot. More than just an assistant, the Hub
Robot uses voice recognition technology to connect to other smart LG devices to
make household tasks less of a chore. A
verbal command is all it takes for the robot to execute tasks such as adjusting
the dryer cycle from hot to warm or turning on the air conditioner in another
room.

The Airport Guide
Robot and Airport Cleaning Robot form the foundation of LG’s out-of-home
service robots initiative. Using LG’s own voice recognition platform, the
Airport Guide Robot understands Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese – the
four most popular languages spoken at Incheon International Airport. With a
quick scan of a visitor’s boarding pass, the robot provides flight information
as well as the time and weather in the destination city. The friendly robot is
currently in full operation at Korea’s largest airport, providing visitors a
warm welcome and escorting late travelers to their departure gate in record
time.

LG’s Lawn Mowing
Robot, making its European debut at IFA, trims grass accurately, reliably and
most of all, safely. Equipped with many of the advanced sensors found in the Airport
Robots, the Lawn Mowing Robot recognizes its own location at all times and keeps
track of every visible obstacle – such as trees and hedges – to maximize
cutting performance.
