LG’s new robovac has a camouflaged dock that looks like an Ikea side table.

It may never come to the US, but LG announced its new HomeBot AI Objet Collection Roni robot vacuum in South Korea today. Its charging/cleaning dock can be hidden in kitchen cabinetry (requiring some reno) but there’s also a standalone dock that looks like a nondescript side table.

<em>The robovac’s standalone charging dock includes a door flap that closes once the robot is parked inside.</em>
<em>The dock doesn’t include any internal storage except for a water tank, but it can be decorated with items on top to help further disguise its true purpose.</em>
<em>If you want the robot’s dock to be completely out of sight an under-cabinet option is available that’s just 15cm tall and connects to your kitchen’s plumbing directly.</em>
