SwitchBot's CES 2026 involves more smart home automation, including an improved 3D facial recognition smart lock and a semi-humanoid household robot.
SwitchBot is known for its smart vacuum cleaners and curtain robots. As it expands its reach in the smart home, it's also pushing into a few new areas too at CES 2026.
For people interested in investing in a smart lock, the SwitchBot Lock Vision series is an expansion from the Keypad Vision it launched last year. The new Lock Vision can perform facial recognition of the user, mapping over 2,000 infrared projection points to create a 3D facial map, meaning video clips of the user can't be used to fool it.
It's also going to be SwitchBot's first in the line to be a deadbolt smart lock that will require installation into the door itself, instead of being retrofitted like earlier models.
Two versions will be available in the forms of the Lock Vision and Lock Vision Pro, complete with battery options including a 10,000mAh rechargable version lasting six months. There's also another battery that lasts for up to five years, with 500 emergency unlocks.
The locks also support Matter-over-Wifi without a hub. Up to 19 unlocking methods will be available, including a contactless palm print and fingerprint recognition on the Pro model.
Pricing and availability have yet to be confirmed.
Robots and domes
On the more unusual side, SwitchBot also brought along two companion devices.
The Onero H1 is a humanoid-style robot that has arms, complete with 22 degrees of freedom, as well as a head. However, it rolls around the floor instead of having legs, much like its robot vacuums.

The intention of the robot is to handle everyday tasks for the user, with it shown to be seemingly cooking and moving clothes around in a promotional video. Navigation is provided by an OmniSense Vision-Language-Action model that uses a combination of depth sensing, tactile feedback, and other computer vision elements to get around, and to perform tasks.
Pricing has not been announced, but SwitchBot says it will be available to preorder soon.
Slightly less useful in the home is the Obboto lamp, which is an "expressive globe light companion." It's effectively a miniature version of the Las Vegas Sphere for your desk, packing over 2,900 RGB LEDs on its outside.
It can be used to display animations, including AI-based "mood animations," as well as music visualizations, local weather forecasts, and various other modes.
Again, pricing and availability are unknown at the time of publication.
