Not the only big name brand on the AI hype, LG offers its very own humanoid robotic assistant called AI Agent (right); it can move, learn, comprehend and engage in complex conversations – all while moving around the home and interacting with users through movements made possible by its articulated leg joints.

Powered by iRobot OS, and also Matter compatible with the Apple Home ecosystem, the Roomba Combo 10 features new Enhanced Dirt Detect Technology as well as an Auto- Retract Mop and Dual Multi-Surface Brushes. Additionally, the AutoWash Dock automatically refills and recharges the robot, washes and dries its mopping pad, empties debris and self-cleans...
