The LG Hub Robot is a new robot assistant that has been announced by the technology brand at CES 2017 as a new device for keeping tabs on one's home. Packed with Amazon Alexa capabilities, the LG Hub Robot can be spoken to in order to perform a series of tasks via the other connected devices within the home. This could consist of changing the temperature of the thermostat, to augmenting the dryer cycle all by simply speaking the commands rather than interacting with a smartphone or the device directly.
The LG Hub Robot is family friendly and capable of being used in the kitchen, the living room or virtually anywhere else to help add functionality that can be used by kids and adults alike.
