At CES 2025, Roborock unveiled the Saros Z70, a groundbreaking robot vacuum equipped with a five-axis robotic arm, marking a bold step in robovac evolution. Designed to extend, twist, and interact with objects weighing up to 300 grams, the arm aims to clear obstacles and pick up laundry, combining advanced functionality with standard vacuuming. The arm is supported by on-board sensors and a camera for spatial orientation, while the Roborock app allows users to customize its interactions and enable features like a child-lock and safety stop. Although this innovation signals progress, the Saros Z70’s high cost and questions about its effectiveness and repairability may limit its accessibility. Roborock’s effort underscores the potential for robot vacuums to evolve beyond cleaning into versatile home assistants. Continue here.
