All part of LG’s 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’s Incheon International Airport. The Lawn Mowing Robot and
the affable Hub Robot, which recently participated in a trial at one of Korea’s
largest financial institutions providing information and servicing customers at

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.

Designed to deliver luggage to the guests’ 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.

LG is also applying its robotics know-how to improve the shopping
experience at premium supermarkets. With the help of LG’s 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.
