Hyun Shin-gyun, president of LG CNS (photo), stated that the company intends to take on the role of “conductor” in various industrial sites where robots will be deployed in the future.

Speaking with reporters on the 7th (local time) at CES 2026, the world’s largest home appliance and information technology (IT) exhibition held in Las Vegas, United States, Hyun said, “It is important to select and train robots suitable for each industrial site, and then deploy and monitor these trained robots in the field,” adding that LG CNS will not manufacture robots directly, but will assume the role of assigning appropriate tasks to robots developed by various companies and coordinating collaboration between humans and robots, as well as between robots themselves, at worksites.

To this end, LG CNS is reportedly cooperating with various manufacturers, including Chinese robotics company Unitree. Hyun said, “In addition to Unitree, we are also working with companies that rank in the top three in China, as well as U.S. robot companies.”

Hyun projected that the first year of robots’ full-scale application in industrial sites will come in two years. He said, “Judging from the current pace of technological development, many production lines will be deploying robots to perform substantive work within two years,” adding, “LG Electronics will also introduce a variety of competitive robots in the near future.”
