LG Electronics Guide Robot 'LG CLOi GuideBot' Wins Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award for Excellent Design

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] LG Electronics' guide robot 'LG CLOi GuideBot' received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award at this year's Good Design (GD) product selection on the 6th.

Unveiled by LG Electronics at the end of last month, this robot features a slim design with a height of 150cm. It is equipped with 27-inch displays on both the front and back, capturing the attention of the public. This product has been operating on a trial basis since this month at the COEX Mall in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu.

The LG CLOi GuideBot not only provides guidance to major facilities within buildings but also offers a 'destination companion service' that accompanies customers to their destinations. Additionally, in a situation where visitors prefer contactless services due to COVID-19, it has a docent function that introduces content and conducts tours for visitors to libraries, museums, and exhibition halls.

Lee Cheol-bae, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics Design Management Center, said, "In a situation where robots have already deeply entered human daily life, design and usability have become as important values as the robot's functions. We will continue to strive to provide differentiated customer value unique to LG for a better life for our customers."
