Saros Rover (robot vacuum cleaner)

2026: Product Announcement

On January 6, 2026, at the international consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, the Chinese company Roborock presented the world's first robot vacuum cleaner Saros Rover, based on a unique AI architecture. He is able to climb stairs, making jumps.

According to Roborock president Quan Ganom, the Saros Rover device uses a wheel-leg architecture pioneered in a robot vacuum cleaner. Each of the two leg-wheels is independently controlled, imitating human mobility. This allows the robot to raise and lower limbs, make small jumps to overcome steps, perform dexterous turns, sharp stops and change direction, keeping the body in a horizontal position.

The operation of the robot vacuum cleaner is based on AI algorithms that analyze data from complex motion sensors and a three-dimensional map of space in real time. This allows the device to understand the environment and accurately control the legs-wheels. The development is designed to clean high-rise buildings, allowing one device to serve different floors, including previously inaccessible areas.

Roborock's head of product marketing Clarbie Lu has unveiled a new line of smart home cleaners that debuted in 2025. It includes the Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic models - the next generation of the flagship Saros series. They are equipped with an AdaptiLift 3.0 chassis that can overcome transitions from carpet to flooring ranging in height from 4.5 to 8.5 cm, as well as an updated autonomous navigation system StarSight 2.0, which maps and recognizes up to 201 types of objects faster.

For floor washing, the F25 ACE Pro model was presented with JetFoaming technology, which converts 1 ml of the solution into 167 million microbubbles to combat persistent pollution. The company also announced U.S. sales in 2026 of its series of lawn mower robots, including the RockNeo Q1 and RockMow X1 LiDAR models.^[1][2]
