Saros Z70 (robot vacuum cleaner)

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.^[1]
