Vacuum cleaners
The "S" line of robot vacuums, introduced in 2018,[5] have an integrated obstacle avoidance system to discern objects down to 5 cm wide by 3 cm high.[6] As the cleaners move about a space, they create a schematic map, marking objects to be avoided later.
Roborock has claimed that their floor cleaning devices do not store images or upload them to the cloud and that all captured images are immediately deleted after processing.[6]
ReactiveAI 2.0 was introduced with the release of the Roborock S7 MaxV. It has an RGB camera and 3D structured light scanning with a neural processor for object recognition regardless of lighting conditions.[7]
In addition to their front-mounted cameras, newer devices use top-mounted LiDAR to map rooms. Using an app, users can set off-limits areas to ensure the device does not clean there. Users can also set "no-mop" areas where the device may vacuum but not mop.[6]
Roborock Q7 Max,[8] released in 2022,[9] can be controlled by Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant.[10]
In 2023, Roborock released the S8, S8 Plus, and S8 Pro Ultra. The main difference between the models is the docking station each includes. The S8 has a standard charging base, whereas the S8 Plus includes an automatic emptying dock.[11][12] The S8 and S8 Plus have dual brush rolls, but they do not lift. All models that precede the S8 have a single brush roll.
The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra incorporates a livestreaming camera.[13][14][15] Roborock S7,[16] which debuted at CES 2021.[17][18] The S7 can detect the type of floor to use either its mop or its vacuum.[19][6][20]
In 2022, Roborock released the Q5, which replaces the S models and is similar to the S4 Max and the S5. The Q5 has higher suction power but lacks the mop feature.[22] In January 2025, Roborock introduced its Saros 10 model.[23] They also introduced the Saros 10R and the Saros Z70. The Saros Z70 has a robotic arm to put small clothing items away and move abstractions out of its path.
