Samsung just demoed a robot household assistant called Bot Handy.
The robot, which has one long arm, can do chores around the house.
Tech companies often debut new or developing products at CES.

Samsung just showed off a robot assistant at CES that would look right at home on "The Jetsons." CES is typically a time when companies debut new and exciting technology that isn't ready to go on the market yet, and Bot Handy is still in development.

Samsung introduced some other robots too, and one of them will actually be available to purchase soon. Jetbot 90 AI+ is a smart vacuum cleaner with cameras and Lidar technology to clean a home while avoiding cables and other objects. Samsung Bot Care is designed to act as a "robotic assistant and companion," and is also still in development.

Notably, Bot Handy is the only one that can pour a glass of wine. Take a look here.

Bot Handy is intended to work as a household assistant, "working as your trusted partner to help with house chores," according to Samsung.

The company says Bot Handy will use "advanced AI to recognize and pick up objects of varying sizes, shapes and weights," like dirty dishes.

Dirty laundry is also fair game for the robotic butler.
