SwitchBot Onero H1 Home Robot has officially been unveiled at CES 2026, marking a major leap forward in AI-powered home automation. Known for introducing unconventional yet practical smart home devices, SwitchBot once again captured global attention with its most ambitious creation to date—a humanoid household robot designed to actively assist with everyday tasks.

A Smart Home Robot Built to Assist, Not Replace Humans

The SwitchBot Onero H1 Home Robot is designed as a supportive home assistant rather than a replacement for human involvement. Featuring a humanoid structure with a head, expressive digital face, and articulated robotic arms, the robot is engineered to function naturally within modern households.

With 22 degrees of freedom, the Onero H1 is capable of smooth, human-like movements. It runs on SwitchBot’s advanced OmniSense VLA on-device AI model, enabling real-time perception, decision-making, and adaptive learning without relying entirely on cloud processing. This allows the robot to respond quickly and operate securely within the home.

According to SwitchBot, the Onero H1 can grasp, push, open, sort, and organize objects, adjusting its behavior based on room layouts, furniture placement, and task complexity. Over time, the robot learns user preferences and environmental patterns, improving efficiency with continued use.

Evolution of SwitchBot’s Home Robotics Vision

The SwitchBot Onero H1 Home Robot is the natural evolution of the company’s earlier robotic innovation, the K20+ Pro, which debuted at CES 2025. Rather than replacing existing smart devices, SwitchBot envisions the Onero H1 as a central coordinator that works alongside task-specific robots and smart home products.

This collaborative approach allows the robot to unify different smart home functions—such as cleaning, organizing, and device control—into one intelligent system. The modular A1 robotic arms significantly expand the robot’s versatility, allowing it to perform a broader range of physical household tasks.

Designed for Real Homes and Real Tasks

Unlike concept robots built only for demonstrations, the SwitchBot Onero H1 Home Robot is clearly designed with real-world use cases in mind. From organizing daily essentials to assisting with routine household chores, the robot aims to reduce friction in everyday life.

Its expressive face and human-like proportions are also intentional, helping users feel more comfortable interacting with the robot regularly. This emphasis on approachability reflects SwitchBot’s goal of integrating robotics seamlessly into daily living environments.

Availability and Pre-Order Details

SwitchBot has confirmed that the Onero H1 Home Robot and its modular A1 robotic arms will be available for pre-order through the official SwitchBot website. While pricing and a confirmed retail launch date have not yet been announced, industry expectations suggest availability later in 2026.

Given the complexity and capabilities of the robot, pricing is expected to target early adopters and smart home enthusiasts seeking advanced automation solutions.

SwitchBot Expands Smart Security at CES 2026

Alongside the Onero H1 Home Robot, SwitchBot also expanded its smart security ecosystem with the introduction of the Lock Vision Series. This new smart deadbolt incorporates 3D structured-light facial recognition, using more than 2,000 infrared projection points for millimeter-level biometric accuracy.

The system includes 3D liveness detection, preventing spoofing attempts with photos or videos. The premium Lock Vision Pro model adds palm-vein recognition, offering an additional biometric security option for high-security households.

A Glimpse Into the Future of AI-Powered Smart Homes

With the launch of the SwitchBot Onero H1 Home Robot and the Lock Vision Series, SwitchBot continues to position itself at the forefront of next-generation smart home innovation. These products signal a future where AI-powered robots and intelligent security systems work together to create safer, more efficient, and more convenient living spaces.

As CES 2026 demonstrates, the age of practical home robotics is no longer theoretical. The SwitchBot Onero H1 Home Robot represents a tangible step toward intelligent homes that actively assist residents—reshaping how we interact with technology in our everyday lives.
