SwitchBot
"Your Simple Switch to a Smart Home"
SwitchBot is a Shenzhen-based, Series B-funded smart-home robotics company selling connected vacuum robots, smart locks, and automation hubs.
SwitchBot is a Shenzhen, China-headquartered consumer robotics and smart-home company that designs and sells an ecosystem of connected home devices under a single app and hub architecture. Its product range spans robot vacuum and floor-cleaning robots (the S10, K11+, and K10+ series), smart locks including the Lock Ultra and Lock Vision Pro (the latter featuring 3D facial recognition), smart curtain and blind motors, environmental sensors, smart hubs, lighting and plug controllers, home-security cameras and video doorbells, and air purifiers and humidifiers. The company positions its flagship devices, including the rechargeable Bot push-button robot, as accessible retrofits that add automation to existing furniture and switches without rewiring.
SwitchBot describes itself as building AI-enabled embodied home robotics systems around three technical pillars: robot localization and environment mapping, AI-based machine vision control, and a distributed neural control network that lets multiple devices coordinate within a home. The company has raised institutional venture funding through a Series B round and, according to Crunchbase, employs between 251 and 500 people, with founders listed as Zhichen Li and Richard Mou.
In July 2026, SwitchBot's rechargeable Bot device drew attention in the press for an unusual pest-avoidance use case, illustrating the company's push to market its automation hardware for everyday household problem-solving beyond its original smart-switch use case. The company sells directly to consumers online and maintains a dedicated support portal with live chat, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and lifetime customer support commitments, alongside a network of authorized regional stores.
SwitchBot's public website does not disclose a specific founding year, headquarters street address, official LinkedIn page, or third-party manufacturing certifications, though its official X/Twitter handle is @switchbot. The company's growth has tracked the broader consumer smart-home market, expanding from single smart-switch retrofits into a fuller ecosystem of cleaning robots, security, and climate devices marketed globally through direct e-commerce channels.
