Now it’s time to lend Roborock a helping hand, as they’re lending us an arm. The Roborock Saros Z70 is the world’s first mass-produced robot vacuum with a folding mechanical arm that can intelligently detect and remove obstacles in its path and even put them into storage for you. This is the most revolutionary advancement in home cleaning technology that has been made in recent years. It will usher in a new era of home robotic appliances and assistants.
In January, the world was given a sneak peek at the Saros Z70. The first demonstration of the mindboggling AI capabilities of the OmniGrip folding robotic arm made this one of most anticipated new products in years. The Saros Z70 can accurately see, measure and recognize its environment. It uses AI to detect any new obstacles, or if furniture has been rearranged. It then instantly rewrites its internal maps. This is just a small sample of the incredible feats that this robotic vacuum/mop combination can accomplish.
While the competition is still working on the design, Roborock has taken this concept and put it into mass production. The Saros Z70 is now available to consumers. This is a huge leap forward in robotic intelligence, with a smart device more autonomous than its predecessors. It also features the revolutionary OmniGrip arm that can perform specific tasks and chores for you. The release of the Saros Z70 is a seismic event.

Next Level Intelligence.
Roborock has combined the OmniGrip arm with AI that is so advanced it will redefine what a home robot can do.The OmniGrip of the Saros Z70 can do much more than just grab objects. It can also see and think, thanks to its precision cameras, dual lenses, and LED lights, which all feed information into Saros Z70 AI processor. The OmniGrip arm is able to identify what’s on its path, if it’s too heavy for it to pick up and what it should do with it.
Saros Z70 is available at Roborock.com.
The Saros Z70, for example, can detect a stray shoe, determine if it’s light (anything less than 0.6 pounds) and then know to take it to the closet. You can also bring a crumpled tissue or piece of paper to the trash. Other objects that don’t have obvious homes can be moved and the Saros Z70 will return to the spot to do a second cleaning.
The intelligence level of the Saros Z70 is so great that it can identify and remember up to 108 household objects, 50 of which you can customize with labels in the Roborock app, and what to do with them. Even if it can’t pick up or move an object, it is able to identify it, and theoretically help you locate something that’s gone missing under a bed or other hidden area. That’s a massive leap forward for cleaning, and it’s even entertaining to teach the Saros Z70 how to interact with random objects and watching it work its magic.
Gets Down to Business
We could talk all day about the first-of-its-kind OmniGrip arm and otherwordly intelligence of the Saros Z70, but skipping its ability to actually clean your home would be doing it a huge disservice. The Saros Z70 is a top-notch robot vacuum and mop that would earn its way onto the best-of lists for robotic cleaners even without the OmniGrip arm and advanced AI. The upgraded dock can recharge the Saros Z70 in just 2.5 hours, heat and refill the mop water and then air-dry the mop pads, dispense detergent into the mop water, and even intelligently detect dirt to decide if it needs to re-wash and re-mop.
The robot itself is barely 3 inches tall — the thinnest Roborock ever — and that exceptionally low profile enables it to get into areas most competing robot vacuums would simply get stuck in. It has advanced anti-tangle features for hair, and a powerful 22,000Pa of suction to give both hard and carpeted surfaces a truly deep cleaning. The Saros Z70’s FlexiArm Riser Side Brush extends to get into corners and along baseboards, and it’s able to lift itself over small thresholds like doorways or transitions between hard and carpeted surfaces. It can also lift its mop pads nearly a full inch off the floor to keep them off carpets, or remove the mop pads autonomously for vacuum-only tasks, and then replace them for mopping duties.
All of these cleaning features, including the self-heating mop water, are backed by AI so the Saros Z70 can learn your cleaning preferences and modify them on the go. The Roborock app allows you to program and personalize all the settings so you can fully entrust the Saros Z70 to give your entire home a thorough cleaning without supervision.
In the ever-escalating arms race among robotic home cleaning appliances, the debut of the Saros Z70 is truly the Sputnik moment — first of its kind, bringing abilities and technology out of the development stage and directly into the mass market, and into your home.
