Rock a new era of cleaning with AI-powered robot vacuums from Roborock

The news is awash with stories about advancements in AI, but it can be hard to imagine how this increasingly popular technology actually affects our day-to-day lives. Roborock, a leader in robotic cleaning solutions with a decade of innovation to its name, has taken to CES 2025 to launch a brand-new line of AI-enhanced robotic cleaning vacuums. We’re not quite to the point of having powerful humanoid robots to do our daily bidding, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t entered a new era of intelligent cleaning and organization. Leading that new era is the Roborock Saros series of vacuums.

Redefining clean in the new smart home era

We’re all busy, and we’re all looking for new tech that can help us check off the mundane chores of our day so we can spend more time with people we love doing things we love. To help accomplish this goal, Roborock has committed to innovating new technology to improve our quality of life for more than a decade. The tech sector’s recent push into AI-driven tools has made more advanced smart home technology available on a wider scale that can better accomplish everyday tasks.

Roborock has made its line of robotic cleaners smarter by integrating 3D ToF sensors and visual recognition technology, backed by AI, to enable multimodal data fusion. This gives the robotic cleaners the power to not just “see” their surroundings, but to utilize point cloud data to construct 3D models of their environment to better understand depth and spatial relationships. Rather than simply perceiving its environment as a series of lines, these 3D models allow the robotic cleaner to perceive surfaces, improving the detection of object shapes and positions even when faced with complex furniture layouts.

This advancement in detection doesn’t just improve the way the robotic cleaner learns its user’s preferences — it allows Roborock to further innovate on the design and define the future of what robotic cleaners are capable of. We think of robotic cleaners as vacuums and mops, at best, but Roborock has expanded its lineup of cleaners to include an AI-powered robotic arm that can actually detect and interact with items in its environment. Not only does the robotic arm have the ability to pick up on obstacles like slippers, socks, toys and pet supplies, but it can also neatly organize them based on classification rules defined by you. And it doesn’t stop there. Roborock robotic cleaners continue to learn through function, improving every time you use them by fine-tuning their functionality to your needs and home. This kind of innovation can truly make your daily life better.

Meet Roborock Saros Series, a new collection of robotic cleaning companions

The Roborock Saros Series embraces the latest in AI technology to redefine the smart home cleaning experience. These three unique, innovative and smart robotic cleaners merge cutting-edge AI tech with modern design for an elegant but functional device capable of self-learning and multitasking. The Roborock Saros 10 is the first to feature Roborock’s RetractSense Navigation System, a one-of-a-kind feature that allows the cleaner to retract its Laser Distance Sensor module so that it can pass under low-clearance areas such as furniture without compromising its 100-degree field of view.

The ultra-low profile design of the Saros 10 is combined with powerful suction technology and a Dual Anti-Tangle System, allowing it to effectively capture dirt and debris with its FlexiArm Riser Side Brush. This prevents hair from tangling around the vacuum’s rollers and channels it to its rightful place in the dustbin. The FlexiArm Riser side brush automatically retracts when no longer necessary.

The Saros 10 also benefits from improvements to Roborock’s VibraRise mopping system. Now equipped with VibraRise 4.0, the Saros 10 features a dense, more absorbent mop than its predecessors, with two zones that vibrate at 4,000 times per minute each for deep stain removal and an overall superior mopping experience — all without you ever lifting a finger. If you do want to have a little more say in how your Saros 10 cleaner handles its duties, you can opt to set the RockDock Ultra 2.0’s various modes, such as Vacuum Only, or Carpets First, which allow the vibrating mop to detach and remain at the base to prevent dampening carpets.

Speaking of the RockDock Ultra 2.0, the design has been upgraded with a sleek new temperate glass finish, giving it a modern look to coincide with its modern feature set. It has an easily accessible bin for faster cleaning, an efficient 2.5-hour charge time, and new adaptive water temperatures that can handle an array of mopping challenges.

While the Saros 10 is an excellent entry point to improved robotic vacuum cleaning technology, the Saros 10R is the shining star of Roborock's lineup. Powered by AI through Roborock’s StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 technology, the Saros 10R is ultra-thin, ultra-intelligent, and the best in robotic vacuuming and mopping performance. It is designed to be efficient, featuring many of the same design bells and whistles as the Saros 10. This includes the AdaptiLift chassis for determining mid-to-high pile carpets and crossing thresholds, and around 20,000 pa of suction power paired with the anti-tangle system.

The Saros 10R is paired with the Multifunctional Dock 4.0, which boasts 176°F hot water mop washing, auto mop removal, and a fast 2.5-hour charge. It can intelligently estimate the required power for the remaining cleaning areas and tasks, charging the vacuum quickly to complete its chores in a more timely manner rather than forcing you to be inconvenienced by vacuuming and mopping off schedule. This can be combined with off-peak charging, allowing for optimal energy usage.

You can set the off-peak hours with the updated and enhanced Roborock app or you can rely on the new Roborock SmartPlan 2.0 user experience. The SmartPlan 2.0 user experience leverages the power of AI learning to adjust and customize your Saros 10R cleaner to a preferred cleaning route, suction power, and water volume based on data and usage history from your home, creating a cleaning schedule that is tailor-made to your home and lifestyle. No time to haggle with a smartphone app? That’s okay, the Saros 10R can recognize voice commands by simply saying, “Hello, Rocky!” The Saros 10R is also compatible with your favorite smart home control devices, such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Home.

If that’s not enough advancements in technology for you, then what you might be looking for is the Roborock Saros Z70. The Z70 is a cutting-edge robotic vacuum that features all the same advances as the Saros 10 and 10R, but with one nifty new feature that will really blow your socks off — or at least organize them. That’s right, the Saros Z70 features a first-of-its-kind foldable robotic arm with OmniGrip. The five-axis robotic arm is folded into the vacuum’s ultra-slim 3.14 in body, and can unfold, extend, and twist both horizontally and vertically to pick up and move light objects and obstacles. Currently, the arm is capable of moving obstacles weighing less than 10.5 ounces, including socks, tissues, and even sandals. Currently, the Z70 can detect up to 108 different obstacles, allowing users to label up to 50 additional objects in the Roborock app. More recognizable objects are expected to be supported in future software updates.

The Roborock Saros Z70 forgoes the traditional LDS module used by other robotic cleaning vacuums and is instead powered by Roborock’s StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, a next-gen dual-light 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor and RGB cameras that are fed into an AI technology capable of mapping the cleaner’s environment with precise obstacle detection. The robot can intelligently decide how to interact with objects and obstacles, such as deploying the OmniGrip arm to move small toys and cables and then cleaning the previously missed area. The new VertiBeam Lateral Obstacle Avoidance tech also helps with cleaning around loose cables and irregularly shaped walls.

The Saros Z70’s OmniGrip arm is also equipped with a fun little camera that can be used with the new “Search for Pet” feature, which can help find your furry companion in your home and provide a video call feature so you can check in on them when you are away. You can even schedule on-demand cruises or manually control the robot’s patrols to keep up with your fur baby’s day. Don’t worry, though, the Z70 does not store any images or video, so you can trust that your family’s safety and privacy are secure.

Not ready for automated cleaning tech? The Roborock F25 Series is for you.

Fully automated cleaning robots may not be for everybody. Some folks still prefer the good old-fashioned stick vacuum. Roborock’s F25 Series features five new models of smart vacuums, offering smooth and spotless cleaning experiences that still require a little of that good old elbow grease if you want to get the job done. The F25 series is still powered with innovative smart features that help you to spend less time cleaning and more time doing what you love.

With a powerful suction of 20,000 Pa and the ability to reach a frequency of 450 cleaning strokes per minute, the F25 Series effectively offers deep cleaning capabilities with 99.9% bacteria removal with seamless movement and zero-tangle functionality. The Roborock F25 Series features shark-tooth-like blades, dubbed “JawScrapers,” that capture and eliminate hair tangles so you can get a streak-free clean every time. The slim design of the F25 Series makes it easy to reach under furniture and get close to edges, with no suction loss even when tilted.

The F25 Series offers five new models to choose from: the Roborock F25, F25 ALT, F25 ACE, F25 RT, and the F25 LT. Each is packed with an array of features that help you work smarter, not harder, to enjoy a clean home.
