CES 2026: SwitchBot Announces Household Robot, Matter Smart Lock and More

SwitchBot, known for its Matter-enabled smart vacuums and other smart home products, today introduced the Onero H1, a robot that is meant to automate household chores.

Integrated AI provides structured summaries, to-do lists, and a searchable personal knowledge base. SwitchBot says …
