LG introduced its innovative products at the IFA 2026 fair, focusing on artificial intelligence integration and smart home technologies. The company acquired the Homey platform, previously developed by Athom, and integrated this technology with its Home Energy Management System (HEMS).
According to the statement, LG participated in the fair with the theme "Innovation in harmony with you" and introduces its products and solutions that aim to provide personalized user experience and energy efficiency using artificial intelligence technologies.
LG's products at the fair include the ThinQ ON artificial intelligence home center and the home ecosystem shaped around the ThinQ platform, as well as Fit & Max Solution, OLED evo AI televisions and LG SIGNATURE products.
The 16 x 4 meter kinetic LED installation "LG AI Orchestra" located at the entrance of the stand demonstrates how the company's white goods, television, air conditioning and robotic solutions can work together in a connected home environment.
In the installation that reflects LG's "Zero Workload at Home" vision, CLOiD is positioned as the "conductor" of the connected artificial intelligence ecosystem.
The company will also introduce its new artificial intelligence agent, ThinQ Claw, for the first time at IFA 2026.
Integrated into ThinQ ON and working via text-based chat, ThinQ Claw suggests various actions to users using natural language interaction and contextual understanding features. The system aims to provide personalized support based on home conditions, user preferences and daily routines.
LG ThinQ Pro allows central control and monitoring of white goods and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Home Energy Management System (HEMS), supported by the Homey platform developed by Athom, which LG acquired in 2024, is also exhibited as a solution for the coordination of energy production, storage and consumption at home.
Fit & Max Solution expanded to different product groups
The Fit & Max design, which LG previously used in certain refrigerator models, has been expanded to include washing machines, dryers and dishwashers.
The solution, consisting of products with a built-in appearance, aims to increase usable space and capacity without increasing external dimensions. Fit & Max dishwasher models, which can complete the full washing and drying cycle in one hour, will also be featured at the fair.
In the field of energy efficiency, there are white goods that use Dual Inverter Heat Pump and inverter compressor technologies.
Among the products on display is a washing machine that uses up to 70 percent less energy than the minimum required for class A under current energy efficiency standards in Europe.
The company will also showcase its media and entertainment products at IFA 2026. In this area, there are the Wallpaper OLED TV "LG OLED W6" with wireless image and sound transmission feature, as well as the 2026 LG OLED evo AI and Micro RGB evo AI models.
The company also offers visitors the UltraGear monitor that supports 1000 Hz refresh rate at FHD resolution, webOS-based content services, the "StanbyME 2 Max" model and the "Sound Suite" home audio system.
In the LG SIGNATURE area, premium white goods equipped with artificial intelligence technologies are exhibited. LG SIGNATURE refrigerator has an artificial intelligence-supported voice recognition feature that can understand spoken language and recommend cooling modes suitable for different types of food.
LG SIGNATURE 30-inch wall-mounted oven can recognize different dishes and recommend the appropriate cooking mode using AI Gourmet and its built-in artificial intelligence camera.

Reported by the Kyodo agency, researchers introduced the DeepLitterAI system, developed using 12 thousand seabed photographs collected between 1983 and 2025. The system is trained to prevent misidentifying non-litter objects as trash, can process data twice as fast as humans and detect 80% of large pieces of trash such as plastic bottles. In the tests, it was determined that the error margin of the system was around 10% and the analysis period was completed in a few days instead of a month. The research results were published in the journal Environmental Pollution.
