IFA 2018

LG to Usher in New Era of AI Robotics with Wearable Robot

Focused on becoming a leading developer of service robots in the next decade, LG Electronics (LG) will unveil to the public at IFA 2018 its first “human-centric” wearable robot. But unlike previously announced robots from LG such as Guide Robot, Cleaning Robot and Serving Robot, LG CLOi SuitBot doesn’t navigate airport lounges and hotel hallways by itself. What it does is support and enhance a user’s legs to allow for more mobility and lower limb strength.

Last year, LG invested in a startup that develops robots to overcome the limitations of the human body in everyday life. LG CLOi SuitBot was designed in collaboration with the startup, SG ROBOTICS, who has been studying how wearable robots can improve the quality of life. A comfortable fit and naturally rotating joints allow the CLOi SuitBot to move in a more relaxed and natural way to enhance the lower body while walking, standing or working. Its sandal-type shoes and automatic adjustment feature allow the wearer to get in and out of the suit more easily, differentiating LG CLOi SuitBot from many other exoskeletons.

And LG CLOi SuitBot can connect to other LG service robots (first announced at CES 2018) to become part of a smart working network to deliver information and tools required at work sites such as manufacturing, logistics and distribution. LG CLOi service robots are being developed as part of LG’s larger AI initiative for the commercial sector. AI technology allows LG CLOi SuitBot to learn and evolve through the recognition and analysis of biometric and environment data, measuring and analyzing movements to suggest optimal movements and stances for maximum power efficiency.

Key Attractions Spotlighted In ‘Family Fun In Dubai’ Facebook Campaign

With its diverse mix of attractions, accommodations, cultural sites and growing collection of gourmet restaurants and luxury resorts, Dubai has rapidly become a top destination for families looking to upsize their holiday. New innovative and award-winning concepts are opening all the time, adding to the city’s tourism landscape. Here’re our pick of some of the city’s most exciting attractions!

La Perle

Located in the heart of Al Habtoor City, La Perle brings to life a breath-taking fusion of artistic performance, creative imagery and ground-breaking technology. Directed by one of the world’s renowned artistic directors, Franco Dragone, the 90-minute live performance features 65 world-class artists from 23 different countries, each bringing their own unique set of skills to the show – from dance and acrobatics, to aquatic and aerial stunts.

Dubai Parks & Resorts

The first integrated resort in the region that’s home to three colourful, World-class theme parks and one water park, Dubai Parks and Resorts’ offers families and couples endless hours of exhilarating fun. Featuring over 100 incredible indoor and outdoor rides and attractions across MOTIONGATETM Dubai, Bollywood ParksTM Dubai, Legoland® Dubai and Leogland® Waterpark, Dubai Parks and Resorts promises visitors an exciting adrenaline-pumping experience.

Ski Dubai

Nestled inside the buzzing Mall of the Emirates, this innovative, iconic and exciting tourist attraction lets visitors enter a wintery wonderland and experience real snow! Play with penguins, build a snowman, roll down the hills, ride the Twin Track Bobsled or explore a snow cavern. And it gets even better: visitors can ride a frozen zip-line or catch the classic chairlift to the top of a hill to ski all the way to the bottom.

Desert Safari

Experience Bedouin culture and way of life at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Whether you’re visiting in the morning, evening or overnight, the desert offers something special to leave visitors with lifelong memories.

Cruise across the golden dunes on board a vintage Land Rover or SUV and discover the desert’s history. You can see native desert animals including gazelles and Arabian Oryx. Or you can trace your way through the desert like a local, on top of a traditional camel convoy. Immerse yourself in the local culture by meeting with Bedouins at the famous Bedouin base camp. One of the most memorable highlights is the magical falconry demonstration, where you can even learn to fly a falcon personally.

Aquaventure Waterpark

One of Dubai's most thrilling waterparks, Aquaventure Waterpark received an upgrade in 2013 when it opened four more thrilling slides – each wrapped around the new Tower of Poseidon pyramid – and Arabia’s longest zip line circuit. However, you can still dive into old favourites like the Leap of Faith, a 27.5-metre plunge that carries you through a clear tube surrounded by sharks and rays. For families with young children, the waterpark guarantees that little ones will delight in the Splashers Children's Play Area – a maze of kid-friendly tunnels, tubes, slides and climbing frames.

If you prefer a more leisurely experience and want to simply relax under the sun, you can also float along the Lazy River that stretches for more than a mile through the park.

What are you waiting for? Join the contest to win a trip for four to Dubai and experience #FamilyFun!

Till then..
