SwitchBot says its humanoid household robot can do your laundry

"SwitchBot is bringing a new household robot to CES 2026. The smart home company is launching the Onero H1, which it calls "the most accessible AI household robot." The announcement follows last year's debut of its multitasking household bot - a robot vacuum mounted to a mobile platform. SwitchBot says the Onero is a general-use humanoid robot designed to eliminate housework that can complete "everyday actions such as grasping, pushing, opening, and organizing, while learning to adapt across different tasks and home scenarios.""

"The Onero isn't a full humanoid; it has articulated arms and hands, and a face, but no legs. Its long, oblong body sits on a wheeled base for mobility, an evolution of SwitchBot's modular multitasking bot. According to the company, the Onero uses multiple cameras in its head, arms, hands, and midsection to power its perception. It also has an impressive 22 degrees of freedom (DoF), referring to the number of independent movements it can make."

SwitchBot unveiled the Onero H1, a general-use humanoid robot aimed at eliminating routine housework with articulated arms and hands. The robot performs tasks such as filling a coffee machine, making breakfast, washing windows, loading a washing machine, and folding and putting away clothes. The design forgoes legs and uses a long oblong body on a wheeled base for mobility, evolving from SwitchBot's modular multitasking platform. Multiple cameras in the head, arms, hands, and midsection supply perception, and 22 degrees of freedom enable independent movements. An on-device OmniSense vision-language-action model coordinates perception and task adaptation.
