Onero H1 is the first humanoid home robot from SwitchBot, a maker of smart-home gadgets. It has a wheeled base, two arms with hands and 22 degrees of freedom, and is meant to help with chores such as tidying and laundry. It was shown at CES 2026, and in April 2026 SwitchBot's US site listed it at 9,999 dollars.
History and launch
SwitchBot unveiled onero H1 at CES 2026 in Las Vegas in January 2026 alongside its "Smart Home 2.0" vision and several new devices. Engadget named it best robot of the show while noting the demo was limited: the robot picked up clothes and loaded a washing machine.
SwitchBot said pre-orders would open soon, promised a price under 10,000 dollars and said it intended to sell the robot in 2026.
Design and technology
Onero H1 has 22 degrees of freedom, a wheeled base and two arms ending in hands. Intel RealSense cameras sit in the head, arms, hands and torso for scene understanding, depth and grasping. SwitchBot has not published height, weight, payload or battery life.
SwitchBot also sells the onero Robotic Arm A1 separately (799 dollars on its US site), which supports ROS 2 Humble.
Software and AI
The robot runs SwitchBot's own OmniSense VLA (vision-language-action) model on the device. It combines visual recognition, depth and touch feedback, and SwitchBot says it can identify items such as clothing, boxes and AV equipment, plan how to grasp and place them, and adapt to people, children, pets and furniture.
H1 is designed to work with other SwitchBot devices such as robot vacuums, smart locks and lighting.
Applications and deployments
Target tasks include grasping and pushing objects, opening doors, tidying and doing laundry. SwitchBot acknowledges the robot may be slower than a person. We found no reports of customer deliveries as of October 2026.
