SwitchBot · Social · 2026
Kata Friends are SwitchBot's line of fluffy AI companion robots, launched in 2026 in two characters — Noa and Niko. Each is a soft, palm-friendly desktop creature with large expressive digital eyes and a camera 'nose', designed to see, listen and learn through speech, touch and vision. The robots respond to handling and conversation, recognise faces and read emotional cues, building a personalised relationship over time as part of SwitchBot's broader smart-home ecosystem. Positioned as approachable, pet-like companions rather than task robots, the Kata Friends target everyday emotional engagement, family interaction and play.
