Designed to support restaurant teams, this safe, prompt and stable serving partner empowers servers to spend less time carrying heavy trays of food, and more time building customer relationships to encourage repeat visits. LG CLOi ServeBot can also help kitchen staff streamline order delivery, making sure meals arrive hot to the table. And it's built to entertain guests with voice prompts, travel music and hands-off operation that turns heads.

So, how does it work?

The journey starts with mapping the table layout of a restaurant service area. Once programmed, LG CLOi ServeBot can navigate virtually any environment and free up staff to handle direct customer service. The robot's versatile skills and exceptional performance are powered by four key factors:

Accurate tracking

LG CLOi ServeBot stands 52.7 inches tall, 20.1 inches wide and 20.1 inches deep. Its compact size, 3D camera and LiDAR sensor allow the robot to turn on a dime, while recognizing and navigating around objects in its path.

Safe operation

LG CLOi ServeBot is the world's first commercial service robot to earn UL 3300 certification for safe operation in complex commercial environments, including restaurants. Its 3D camera and ToF (time-of-flight) sensors help the robot avoid low, small obstacles to navigate freely without stepping on toes.

Professional serving

LG CLOi ServeBot features three open shelves for convenient serving, each with a 22-pound weight capacity. ToF sensors on each shelf allow the robot to detect food and automatically move to the next table once an order has been removed.

Smart convenience

LG CLOi ServeBot features impressive battery life and can operate 11 hours on a single charge. A 9.2-inch touch display and intuitive interface make deploying the robot easy. Plus, its status can be quickly and easily monitored via the cloud from the front or back-of-house.
