The new Roborock vacuum has a arm to clean up your socks. At CES 2025, Roborock has unveiled its latest flagship robotic vacuum cleaners, including a futuristic model with an AI-powered articulated grabbing arm that will pick up your dirty socks. In total, Roborock has three new robotic vacuums on display. The Saros Z70, the Saros 10, and Saros 10R. These are the new flagship offerings, replacing the previous S8 MaxV Ultra at the high end.
First things first — the Roborock Saros Z70 is the most intriguing with it's wandering arm. It collapses down into the top of the robot but extends out to pick up items as it is cleaning your home. The arm isn't particularly strong, only lifting items as heavy as 300 grams such as sandals, socks, small towels, and tissues. This list is expected to expand, but the company has made no promise in increasing its weight limit.
The idea is as it goes around cleaning your home, instead of going around these common items, it will pick them up for you instead. Still, with its weight limit and slow movements, it feels more akin to a tech demo than a real product. Despite this, the product is real and will be available to buy later in 2025.
Other specs of the Saros Z70 include 22,000 Pa of suction power, dual anti-tangling brushes, dual spinning mops, and a new StarSight autonomous navigation system. This uses a new dual-light 4D time-of-flight sensors and RGB cameras powered by AI for improved navigation. It has a sampling frequency 23 times higher than typical laser-based systems and can identify 50 new everyday objects in its obstacle avoidance.
