LG Electronics will make its appliances work with Amazon Echo smart speakers as part of an ongoing process to expand into the artificial intelligence business arena.<\/p>\n
The global electronics manufacturer on Sunday said it planned to showcase its appliances working with Amazon\u2019s Alexa voice-controlled intelligent speaker at the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin that kicks off next week.<\/p>\n
LG said that while Echo does not respond to Korean voice command at present, research is underway to set up such a compatible system late this year or early next year, Yonhap news agency reported.<\/p>\n
It said LG products that will work with the Alexa personal assistant service that are used in refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, air conditioners, air purifiers, cleaning robots and ovens.<\/p>\n
The global home appliance manufacturer has been pairing its products with various smart voice activated devices for the past few years with open platform and open partnership arrangements.<\/p>\n
At the 2016 IFA gathering, it introduced the SmartThinQ Hub that works with Alexa, while earlier this year at the annual Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show it displayed a smart fridge and household home robot that works with Amazon\u2019s artificial personal assistant service.<\/p>\n
Besides products that can work with Echo, LG said it will unveil various Internet of Things devices, robots and smart home solutions in Berlin this year.<\/p>\n
