This is the Roborock Saros Z70. At first glance, it looks like a regular robot vacuum cleaner.
A sock was lying in the path of the Roborock Saros Z70.
The top panel of the Roborock Saros Z70 opens to reveal the 5-axis foldable robot arm 'OmniGrip.'
The OmniGrip has a built-in camera and LED light to see the object, as well as a sensor to detect its weight and position.
The sock will then be carried to the designated location. According to Roborock, the Roborock Saros Z70 will detect and mark objects that can be picked up during the first cleaning run, and carry them to the location specified in the app. It will then return to where the object was and clean again.
The Roborock Saros Z70's robotic arm can lift items up to 300g, including socks, tissues, mini towels, and sandals. Roborock says that more items will be added in the future, but has not promised to increase the weight that can be lifted.
The Verge, an IT news site that actually saw the Roborock Saros Z70 ahead of CES 2025, reported, 'We were able to confirm that the Roborock Saros Z70's robotic arm works as advertised, but it felt very slow. In the demo, it took about a minute to pick up a pair of socks.'
The Verge also mentioned that one of the notable points of the Roborock Saros Z70 is that it will be equipped with a new navigation system called ' StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 '. This StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 can detect up to 108 objects using a 3D time-of-flight sensor, RGB camera, and machine learning by training the robot to recognize your favorite objects in advance. Roborock states that 'You can use the app to see where the robot last found the item, which is useful when you lose it in a room and want to find it.'
The Roborock Saros Z70 also uses a new laser-driven obstacle avoidance technology called 'VertiBeam' that allows for more precise cleaning around long cables and irregularly shaped walls and furniture. It also supports Matter 1.4, so it can work with Matter-enabled smart home platforms.
Pricing for the Roborock Saros Z70 is unknown, but Roborock says it will ship by June 2025.
