LG Electronics presented its vision for future living at IFA in Berlin, showcasing a range of AI home solutions for every need and lifestyle under the theme of ‘Experience, Affectionate Intelligence (AI) Home’.
Central to the Affectionate Intelligence Home is LG ThinQ ON, an advanced AI home hub that seamlessly integrates with the latest LG AI appliances. As the hub learns more about user routines, preferences and behaviours over time, it creates a personalised spatial experience.
The LG booth at IFA 2024 welcomes visitors at the AI Home Gate, an immersive LED media wall that visually communicates how LG AI is deployed within the AI Home.
Visitors can experience the company’s generative AI technology through the ThinQ ON hub once they pass through the AI Home Gate. ThinQ ON can control appliances, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and services with conversational voice commands.
The ‘Second Youth Home’ exemplifies the company’s commitment to enhancing the lives of the elderly by easing household chores and enriching leisure activities. Powered by ThinQ ON, this space highlights conversational voice recognition and seamless coordination of home appliances. The AI hub can provide voice briefings, offering guidance for tasks such as booking a taxi and estimating travel time to the selected destination.
In the ‘Affectionate Home’ zone, the focus is on AI solutions designed to help families care for children and pets. The Self-Driving AI Home Hub, capable of controlling AI appliances and IoT sensors, adjusts device settings and environmental conditions to meet children’s needs. For example, it can activate Sleep Mode at bedtime or use generative AI to create stories from children’s drawings.
For pet care, the LG AI Home Solution manages connected appliances and devices to maintain fresh air and clean floors. Air-quality sensors intelligently control the LG Alpha Pet Double air purifier, while temperature and humidity sensors manage the DualCool air conditioner. The robot vacuum autonomously cleans the floor after pets leave.
In the ‘Delightful Home’ zone, ThinQ ON takes centre stage in creating a culinary experience by engaging with visitors and providing personalised recipe recommendations, as well as nutritional analysis. Visitors can enjoy live cooking demonstrations, and the dishes prepared by LG AI ovens with built-in cameras.
The ‘Smart Green Home’ is a self-sustaining abode featuring the Therma V R290 Monobloc air-to-water heat pump and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. LG AI optimises household energy usage in real time, adjusting device settings and schedules according to user lifestyles and routines. ThinQ ON helps control energy costs by intelligently managing the power consumption of connected devices.
The ‘AI to the Core’ zone highlights the innovation of the company’s AI Core-Tech, including the AI DD and the AI Dual Inverter. The integration of the latest LG AI solutions delivers more precise control and enhanced personalisation.
