LG Electronics Demonstrates Use of Home Appliances Equipped with Artificial Intelligence in ThinQ Suite

LG Electronics will create a large-scale "LG ThinQ Zone" at 'CES 2018', which opens in Las Vegas, USA on the 9th. It will provide LG Electronics' unique and integrated artificial intelligence experience to approximately 190,000 visitors from around the world.

The "LG ThinQ Zone" has a total area of 624 square meters (m2), making it the largest exhibition zone in the LG Electronics booth, taking up about 1/3 of the total booth area (2,044 square meters). The star of the LG Electronics exhibition hall is, in effect, the artificial intelligence brand "ThinQ."

To this end, LG Electronics drastically reduced the size of its exhibition zones, which had previously been organized by product, such as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines.

LG Electronics plans to showcase AI products equipped with not only its own AI platform, 'DeepThinQ', but also various external AI platforms at the 'LG ThinQ Zone'. ▲AI home appliances that talk to each other through wireless internet (Wi-Fi), ▲utilize all the world's knowledge with an open platform, and ▲become smarter through self-learning based on deep learning will form a differentiated AI home.

In particular, LG Electronics will demonstrate 'daily life with LG artificial intelligence products' in the 'LG ThinQ Suite', which replicates the interior of a home. By creating situations that customers can experience in real life every day, we enable visitors to effectively experience the real customer value of ‘LG ThinQ.’

Also, the "LG ThinQ Zone" showcases a smart home where voice recognition AI home appliances are implemented with IoT in each "space" where consumers live. ▲ In the "laundry room," voice recognition Twin Wash, dryers, and other clothing management appliances work together to effectively manage clothing, ▲ In the "living room," voice recognition air conditioners and air purifiers automatically manage indoor air quality, and ▲ in the "kitchen," voice recognition refrigerators and ovens recommend dishes based on the ingredients in the refrigerator and automatically select the corresponding cooking functions.

In addition, LG Electronics will also exhibit various commercial robots, such as guide robots, cleaning robots, and lawn mower robots, at the “LG ThinQ Zone.”

LG Electronics Global Marketing Center Director Han Chang-hee emphasized, “All home appliances are consumer touchpoints where customers can experience artificial intelligence every day,” and “We will create empathy by allowing customers who visit the LG ThinQ Zone to feel real value through LG’s artificial home appliances in their daily lives.”
