Gary Reber Comments:
In 2023, there were fewer than 1,000 humanoid robots on the planet. By the end of 2025, it is projected there will be 100,000 developed and manufactured by various corporations.
The growth numbers are striking. The investment opportunities are real.
This is a perfect example of advancing technology that will result in tremendous replacement of human labor in all industries. The evolution of Quantum Computing and AI will be staggering, and result in greater efficiencies in production and eliminate the necessity for masses of human labor.
We need to act now to create a universal individual ownership society wherein every citizen is turned into a productive capital owner and share in the investment opportunities that will occur as a result of this evolution.
If we continue with the way they are now with the masses dependent solely on an insecure wage system, our society will continue to divide into a small elite who own all the technology and live in affluence and a huge army of the unemployed living in poverty.
We need to adopt the Economic Democracy Act and implement the system reform policies to turn every citizen into a productive capital owner, from birth to death, beginning now and continuously into the future to provide for individual and family wealth building and income generation.
See the overview of the Economic Democracy Act at https://economicdemocracyact.info/ and https://www.cesj.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/EDA-Overview21-1109.pdf.

Positioned as a home assistant, LG CLOiD embodies LG's vision of the "Zero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time" – a future where technology meaningfully reduces the burden of daily chores, allowing customers to focus more on the people and moments that matter most. The robot marks a significant milestone toward the company's long-term goal of freeing customers from the time-consuming demands of housework.
Featuring a suitable form factor optimized for today's living environments, LG CLOiD is built to perform a wide variety of tasks within the home. Its two articulated arms are powered by motors delivering seven degrees of freedom each, providing versatile motion similar to natural movements. Five individually actuated fingers on each hand provide advanced dexterity, allowing CLOiD to perform delicate and precise tasks that require fine motor control.
At the core of LG CLOiD is a chipset integrated into the head, functioning as the robot's "brain." This is complemented by a display, speaker, camera and an array of sensors that enable expressive communication, natural voice interaction and intelligent navigation. Powered by LG's Affectionate Intelligence technology, CLOiD is designed to sense its surroundings, interact in a natural and user-friendly way and refine its responses over time through repeated interactions – aiming to provide more personalized support for everyday tasks.
LG views robotics as a key future growth engine and is accelerating innovation in this strategically important sector. As part of this effort, the company has established HS Robotics Lab within its Home Appliance Solution Company to secure differentiated technologies and further strengthen its core robotics capabilities and product competitiveness. In parallel, LG is actively pursuing joint research initiatives and strategic partnerships with leading robotics companies in Korea and around the globe.
