Additionally, the Hub Robot offers conveniences such as the ability to play music, set alarms, create reminders and provide weather and traffic updates.

It's not just for tedious functions though, LG's Hub Robot can interact with the entire family in a variety of different ways. It can move and swivel in place, as well as express emotions by showing a facial expression on its display. It can also respond to you using body language, such as nodding its head when answering simple questions, and is always aware of activities inside the home, such as when family members leave, come home and go to bed. And because the Hub Robot is able to distinguish different family members' faces with its camera, it can be programmed with a different greeting for each family member.
