Samsung's new robot butler can pour a glass of wine and do your laundry - take a look at how it works

Samsung showed off Bot Handy at CES.

It is one of several bots Samsung demonstrated.

A single long arm with a mechanical hand on the end sets Bot Handy apart from the rest of the lineup.

The robot is black and white, and reached about shoulder-height on the presenter.

The screen acts as a sort of face, with eyes that change shape to mimic showing emotions.

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.

It can do more delicate tasks too, like pour a glass of wine.

The robot will be able to use an "appropriate amount of force," Samsung says.

For now, Robot Handy is still in development with no definitive price or sales date.
