2025: Start of sales in Russia
Sales of the first robot vacuum cleaner with a mechanical hand capable of lifting and removing objects from the floor have started in Russia. The Roborock Saros Z70 is equipped with an OmniGrip that recognizes and moves socks, toys and other small things. The company announced the start of sales on March 10, 2025.
According to Kommersant, the model was first announced in early 2025 at the CES consumer electronics exhibition in Las Vegas, and has now reached the Russian market along with other brand innovations. Among them are models with dual hair tangle protection and chassis with automatic height adjustment for different types of coatings, as well as wireless devices with automatic self-cleaning and hot air drying.
The OmniGrip mechanism is activated automatically when items that the robot can move are detected in the cleaning path. As soon as the vacuum cleaner recognizes towels, socks, crumpled paper or toys, it pulls out a folding manipulator with a claw, picks up the object and moves it to a predetermined place. This can be either a user-selected location or a special basket with a QR code, which the robot is able to recognize. According to the manufacturer, such a capacity will be included in the delivery set for Russian buyers.
Saros Z70 owners can control the OmniGrip mechanism not only automatically, but also manually through a mobile application, independently choosing which items should be moved and which should be left in place. The declared carrying capacity of the manipulator is 300 g, although representatives of the Chinese company said that during testing they managed to raise objects weighing up to 700 g.
To ensure the safety of operation, the vacuum cleaner has several cameras that assess the situation around the robot, above it and in the space where the manipulator moves. A separate camera is built into the mechanical arm itself to track contact with objects being lifted. At the same time, the list of items that the robot can automatically remove is still limited.[1]
2024: Product Announcement
Roborock in early January 2025 introduced the innovative Saros Z70 robot vacuum cleaner, equipped with a mechanical manipulator hand for cleaning items from the floor. The device is capable of lifting and moving objects weighing up to 300 grams.
According to The Verge, the OmniGrip robotic manipulator has five axes of motion and is equipped with an LED-backlit camera for object recognition. Built-in sensors allow you to determine the weight of objects and their location in space, preventing collisions when lifting.
During the first cleaning cycle, Saros Z70 scans the room and marks items it can pick up - socks, wipes, small towels and sandals. On the second aisle, the robot moves these things into already cleaned areas to remove the places where they were originally located.
The obstacle recognition system of the device contains a base of 108 objects, which the user can supplement with another 50 positions ranging in size from 10×10 to 100×100 centimeters. This allows the robot to effectively bypass non-standard-shaped furniture and wire areas.
In addition to basic functions, Saros Z70 is equipped with a pet search system with photo and video recording capabilities. When a pet is found, the device turns off the main brush and changes the trajectory of movement so as not to cause concern.
The new robot vacuum cleaner also received a suction power of 22,000 Pa, dual protection against entanglement of brushes and automatically detachable mops with a rise to a height of 2.2 centimeters. The device is equipped with a docking station with the functions of automatic water purification, filling and draining.
Saros Z70 is scheduled to start selling in the first half of 2025. The model will support voice control and configuration through a proprietary application. The cost of the device has not yet been announced, but it will exceed the price of the company's base models at $1.6 thousand.[2]
