Roborock Unveils Saros Z70: The First Robot Vacuum with a Foldable Robotic Arm for Smarter Cleaning

Roborock, a name synonymous with smart home cleaning technology, has unveiled its latest lineup of intelligent devices at CES 2025. Among the highlights is the Saros Z70, a robot vacuum with an OmniGrip robotic arm, a world-first for mass-produced cleaning robots. Alongside this flagship device, Roborock introduced a series of wet-dry vacuum cleaners and washing machines, underscoring its role as a leader in home robotics.

Saros Z70: Revolutionizing Home Robotics

The Saros Z70 is a robotic vacuum designed to handle household cleaning with an innovative twist. The OmniGrip robotic arm sets this device apart, enabling it to move items weighing up to 300 grams, such as socks, small towels, or toys. This feature allows the vacuum to clean areas that traditional models might struggle with.

The Saros Z70 is equipped with advanced navigation and mapping technologies, including the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0. This system combines 3D Time-of-Flight sensors and an AI-powered RGB camera to create detailed maps and recognize obstacles. Its slim design, standing at just under 8 cm tall, means it can slide under furniture with ease while maintaining powerful suction at 22,000 Pa for effective cleaning across various surfaces.

Adding to its utility, the device incorporates a self-adjusting chassis for seamless movement across different floor types and a dual anti-tangle system to handle hair and debris without clogging. It’s compatible with a multifunctional dock for automatic emptying and charging, making it largely self-sufficient.

The Saros Z70 is part of Roborock’s broader push into smart home solutions. With its focus on blending intelligent features and practical design, this model is poised to redefine what homeowners can expect from robotic vacuums. Set to be available in the first half of 2025, it’s shaping up to be a strong contender, if not the leader, in the evolving world of home robotics.

Expanding the Saros Lineup

The Saros series includes two other models: the Saros 10 and Saros 10R, each packed with its own standout features.

• Saros 10: Designed for homes with tight spaces, it boasts the RetractSense Navigation System, which allows its sensors to retract for low-clearance areas. Despite its compact 7.98 cm height, it offers robust vacuuming and mopping features, including VibraRise 4.0 technology.
• Saros 10R: This model introduces StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, replacing traditional laser navigation with dual-light 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors and an RGB camera. It creates detailed 3D maps of the environment and excels in obstacle detection while maintaining a slim profile.

Wet-Dry Cleaning with the F25 Series

Beyond robotic vacuums, Roborock’s F25 Series wet-dry vacuum cleaners aim to simplify cleaning under furniture and in tight spots. These handheld devices feature a full 180° FlatReach design and a tangle-free roller system that minimizes streaks and handles pet hair with ease.

Key Features of the F25 Series

• FlatReach Cleaning: The F25 can easily clean under low furniture and tight spaces, taking care of areas that are often neglected.
• Tangle-Free Design: The JawScrapers roller prevents hair and debris from wrapping around the roller, keeping it running smoothly without extra maintenance.
• Maneuverability: Equipped with SlideTech 2.0, the F25 glides around corners and obstacles, making it easy to use in challenging layouts.
• User-Friendly Controls: It includes app compatibility and voice notifications, providing real-time updates and making operation straightforward.

The F25’s battery supports up to 60 minutes of use in Eco Mode, allowing for extended cleaning sessions before recharging. Its thoughtful design and robust performance make it a handy choice for homes with varied cleaning needs.

This series balances practicality with convenience, blending powerful cleaning capabilities with features that simplify the experience.

Smart Washer-Dryers with Zeo-Cycle Technology

Roborock also ventured into laundry care with three new washer-dryers: the Zeo One, Zeo Lite, and Zeo Mini. Powered by Zeo-Cycle technology, these machines use zeolite to absorb water vapor, drying clothes at a gentle 50°C. This system promises fabric-friendly drying without excessive heat, making it a standout in the laundry space.

A Step Toward Smarter Living

By blending cutting-edge AI, robotics, and innovative designs, Roborock is continuing to push boundaries in smart home cleaning. With products like the Saros Z70 and Zeo washer-dryers, the company is showing how technology can simplify household chores in meaningful ways.

Stay tuned for availability and pricing details as these devices roll out later in 2025.
