CES 2018 Robot fails onstage during live reveal.
It's the nightmare scenario for any spokesperson: Your much-hyped product fails in front of a live audience at the industry's biggest showcase.

That's what happened when David VanderWaal, LG's VP of marketing, tried to demo CLOi, LG's new home assistant robot at CES Monday. The robot started off okay, responding to a scheduling command and setting a washing machine. Then disaster struck in the form of silence.

The onstage fail was particularly embarrassing because it was part of a demonstration of LG's ThinQ artificial intelligence technology, which will soon come standard in all of LG's smart home appliances. ThinQ will enable LG gadgets--fridge, washing machine stove--to interface and execute functions autonomously. When you pull up a recipe on your smart fridge, your oven begins preheating, for example.

Voice control is one of the touted benefits of the ThinQ-equipped line, and that's where CLOi comes in. The robot, which bears a striking resemblance to Jibo, is supposed to respond to voice commands and play ringleader for all your LG appliances.
