LG Electronics announced the creation of a robot business center to accelerate its physical AI and robotics efforts, the company said. The new organization will consolidate development, supply chain and manufacturing resources and will report directly to the chief executive, signaling that robotics is a core growth area following the unveiling of the CLOiD home robot at CES 2026.
The robot business center will include a dedicated data factory organization aimed at collecting and managing real-world operational data for robot training, the company stated. High-quality data will be used to continuously improve the firm's robotics foundation model development and training, and LG said it is building a large-scale data factory at its Yangjae research campus in Seoul with operations expected to begin this year.
LG outlined three strategic market areas for its robotics push: industrial, commercial and home. The robot business center will be integrated with the company's broader robotics portfolio, combining home robot products with industrial robot technology from Robostar and commercial robotics expertise from Bear Robotics, according to the announcement.
Beyond product launches, LG said it will expand its full robotics lineup to include core components such as actuators and autonomous data-generation capabilities. The company plans to manufacture actuators in South Korea, leveraging more than 60 years of motor technology research and development experience to support the future robotics supply chain.
