LG Electronics has introduced a commercial-grade autonomous vacuum cleaner, developed in collaboration with the Marriott Design Lab, to advance innovation in the hospitality industry. The LG Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is now available to hospitality businesses following pilot implementations at Marriott International properties.

Designed for commercial environments such as hotels and resorts, the LG Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is ideal for overnight cleaning of expansive areas like banquet halls and guestroom corridors, minimizing guest disruption. It offers exceptional edging performance and is equipped with LiDAR and Vision Fusion SLAM sensor technology, enabling precise distance measurement and efficient navigation in complex spaces. The robot cleans based on a custom map tailored to each property.

Its 3-liter dustbin is capable of collecting large debris, such as paper scraps, using both suction and sweeping methods. Hotel operators can manage multiple units simultaneously using a multi-language mobile app and a cloud-based platform, which provides real-time access to data like cleaning progress, battery status, and location. The system also generates statistical data from cleaning history, offering insights for operational improvements.

The Marriott Design Lab functions as a research and development hub focused on innovation and efficiency in hospitality. It serves as a proving ground for technologies that enhance daily hotel operations, improve sustainability, and elevate the guest experience. This partnership extends LG’s long-standing relationship as a trusted Marriott vendor and supplier of in-room hotel TVs across various brands. The collaboration reflects a shared goal of developing early-stage innovations to help hotels optimize operations and meet the evolving expectations of modern travelers.
