The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an increased need for service robots, as they provide a contactless solution to many consumer needs. From hotel concierges to food deliveries, automated bots have provided a valuable and often-efficient service. Handy Bot aims to provide the same type of service, but in one's home. According to Sebastian Seung, president of [Samsung Research](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-bespoke-ai-jet-bot-steam-ultra), the bot serves as “an extension of you in the kitchen, living room, and anywhere else you may need an extra hand in your home". As a result, Bot Handy is expected to be able to preform tasks like [folding laundry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figures-helix), and can even pour a glass of wine.
