SwitchBot Unveils Advanced 3D-Mapping Smart Locks and Multifunctional Household Robots at CES 2026
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, SwitchBot, a leader in smart home automation, introduced groundbreaking products set to redefine home security and automation. The highlights include the Lock Vision series, featuring advanced 3D facial recognition technology, and the Onero H1, a semi-humanoid household robot designed to assist with daily tasks.
Lock Vision Series: Pioneering 3D Facial Recognition
Building upon the success of its previous models, SwitchBot’s new Lock Vision series offers enhanced security through sophisticated 3D facial recognition. By projecting over 2,000 infrared points, these locks create a detailed 3D map of the user’s face, effectively preventing unauthorized access through methods like video spoofing.
Unlike earlier retrofit models, the Lock Vision series requires installation into the door itself, providing a more integrated and secure solution. The series includes two models: the Lock Vision and the Lock Vision Pro. Both are equipped with substantial battery options, including a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery lasting up to six months, and an alternative battery capable of up to five years of operation with 500 emergency unlocks.
These locks support Matter-over-WiFi without the need for an additional hub, ensuring seamless integration into existing smart home ecosystems. Users can choose from up to 19 unlocking methods, with the Pro model offering advanced features like contactless palm print and fingerprint recognition. Pricing and availability details are yet to be announced.
Onero H1: The Versatile Household Assistant
In a bold move into home robotics, SwitchBot introduced the Onero H1, a semi-humanoid robot designed to assist with everyday household tasks. Featuring arms with 22 degrees of freedom and a head, the Onero H1 navigates on wheels, similar to robot vacuums, allowing it to move efficiently throughout the home.
The robot is equipped with the OmniSense Vision-Language-Action model, which combines depth sensing, tactile feedback, and advanced computer vision to perform tasks such as cooking and handling laundry. This integration of technologies enables the Onero H1 to adapt to various household environments and tasks.
While pricing has not been disclosed, SwitchBot has indicated that preorders for the Onero H1 will be available soon.
Obboto Lamp: An Expressive Globe Light Companion
Adding to its innovative lineup, SwitchBot unveiled the Obboto lamp, an expressive globe light companion. Resembling a miniature version of the Las Vegas Sphere, the Obboto lamp features over 2,900 RGB LEDs capable of displaying animations, AI-based mood animations, music visualizations, and local weather forecasts. This versatile device aims to enhance the ambiance of any room.
As with the other products, pricing and availability for the Obboto lamp have yet to be announced.
