SwitchBot unveils humanoid robot Onero H1 to handle household chores

SwitchBot has introduced its first humanoid robot, the Onero H1, at CES 2026, targeting challenging household chores through integration within its Smart Home 2.0 AI-powered ecosystem. Designed to sense, understand, and act in various home scenarios, the Onero H1 can perform tasks such as grasping, pushing, opening, organizing, serving coffee, washing dishes, doing laundry, and folding clothes. It features 22 degrees of freedom in its arms for flexible movement and uses multiple Intel RealSense cameras to gather real-time data for precise control. Unlike traditional humanoids with legs, the Onero H1 has a smooth, oblong body mounted on a cylindrical wheel base optimized for flat home surfaces. Central to the robot’s capabilities is SwitchBot’s OmniSense VLA model, which enables adaptive learning by recognizing object shapes, positions, and interaction states dynamically. Rather than replacing specialized devices, the Onero H1 acts as an orchestrator within a unified smart home ecosystem,
