Roborock, a leading innovator in home robotics, has unveiled its groundbreaking Saros Z70 robot vacuum at CES 2025, marking a significant leap forward in automated cleaning. Under the theme “Rock a New Era,” Roborock showcased a suite of new intelligent cleaning devices, but it was the Saros Z70 and its revolutionary robotic arm that stole the show.

The Saros Z70: A Robotic Assistant, Not Just a Vacuum

The Saros Z70 is the world’s first mass-produced robot vacuum to feature an OmniGrip intelligent and foldable robotic arm. This five-axis arm isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a game-changer. Designed to deploy and manipulate small objects, the OmniGrip arm can reach into previously inaccessible areas and even handle items like socks, small towels, tissues, and sandals weighing under 300g. This transforms the Z70 from a simple floor cleaner into a true robotic home assistant. Coupled with advanced navigation, vacuuming, and mopping capabilities, the AI-powered Saros Z70 promises to redefine automated cleaning.

The Saros Series: A Flagship Lineup

The Saros Z70 leads a new flagship series that includes the Saros 10 and Saros 10R. Each model boasts unique features and advancements:

• Saros 10: This model introduces Roborock’s RetractSense Navigation System. This innovative system allows the navigation module to retract, enabling the vacuum to navigate under low-clearance furniture while maintaining a wide 100-degree field of view. This results in an ultra-slim 7.98 cm form factor without compromising navigation accuracy. The Saros 10 also incorporates the latest VibraRise 4.0 mopping module and other advanced cleaning technologies.
• Saros 10R: Taking robotic intelligence to the next level, the Saros 10R features the next-generation StarSight Autonomous System 2.0. Replacing the traditional LDS tower, this system uses dual-light 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology and an AI-powered RGB camera for unparalleled 3D mapping and obstacle detection. Like the Saros 10, it maintains a slim 7.98 cm profile while integrating cutting-edge cleaning technologies.

Beyond Robotics: Expanding the Cleaning Ecosystem

Roborock’s innovations extend beyond robotic vacuums. The company also announced:

• F25 Series: A new line of handheld wet-dry vacuum cleaners featuring 180° FlatReach Deep Cleaning for easy cleaning under low furniture. They also include a tangle-free and streak-free roller with dual scrapers.
• Zeo Series Washer-Dryers: Three new all-in-one washer-dryers – the Zeo One, Zeo Lite, and Zeo Mini – utilize Zeo-Cycle drying technology. This innovative system uses zeolite’s moisture-absorbing properties to dry clothes at a moderate temperature of around 50°C, protecting delicate fabrics without excessive heat.

A New Era of Smart Cleaning

With the Saros Z70 and its robotic arm, Roborock is not just improving cleaning; it’s redefining what a robot vacuum can be. Combined with the other innovations unveiled at CES 2025, Roborock is solidifying its position at the forefront of the smart home cleaning revolution, promising a future where cleaning is more intelligent, efficient, and effortless. The Roborock Saros Z70 is expected to be available in the first half of 2025.
