Residents will be able to control lighting, heating, ventilation, power outlets and gas valves while accessing apartment services such as elevator calls, parking location checks, visitor logs and community facility reservations.\n\nPowered by AI, the platform will learn residents' daily routines and preferences through natural conversations, enabling it to recommend or automatically perform tasks tailored to individual lifestyles.\n\nThe partnership expands on an agreement signed in April to develop residential robot services. Since then, the companies have been developing robot-friendly apartment standards and service models using LG's CLOiD home robot and autonomous delivery robots.\n\nBy combining AI home technology, robotics and residential infrastructure, LG Electronics and GS E&C aim to create an integrated living environment where AI, robots and smart spaces work seamlessly together.\n\n\"We will deliver a new living experience that makes customers' daily lives more convenient and valuable,\" said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company at LG Electronics.\n\nHuh Yoon-hong, CEO of GS E&C, said, \"The future of housing lies not in simply adding smart devices but in seamlessly integrating AI into everyday living spaces.\"\n\njwjeon7625@heraldcorp.com", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lg-electronics-gs-e-c-partner-on-ai-homes", "canonical_source": "https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10807360", "published_at": "2026-07-13 08:00:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-13 08:10:19.484143+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["LG Electronics", "GS E&C", "ThinQ ON", "Xi", "CLOiD", "Lyu Jae-cheol", "Huh Yoon-hong"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lg-electronics-gs-e-c-partner-on-ai-homes", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lg-electronics-gs-e-c-partner-on-ai-homes.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lg-electronics-gs-e-c-partner-on-ai-homes.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lg-electronics-gs-e-c-partner-on-ai-homes.jsonld"}}
