At CES 2026, Roborock pushed the boundaries of home robotics with the debut of the Saros 20 series and a headline-grabbing concept: the world’s first two-wheel-legged robot vacuum, Saros Rover.
Saros Rover
Saros Rover introduces a groundbreaking two-wheel-leg architecture that mimics human mobility. Each wheel-leg can independently lift, extend, and adjust height, allowing the robot to execute small jumps, agile turns, sudden stops, and rapid directional changes while keeping its body level across uneven terrain.
Powered by advanced AI algorithms, complex motion sensors, and 3D spatial mapping, Saros Rover continuously interprets its surroundings and responds with precise, real-time leg movements. This allows it to handle environments that have traditionally been impossible for robot vacuums.
Designed for multi-storey homes, Saros Rover can clean staircases step by step as it moves between floors, dramatically reducing “no-go” zones. It supports straight, curved, and carpeted staircases, including bullnose designs, while maintaining consistent cleaning performance. Beyond stairs, it can also navigate slopes and complex multi-level thresholds that require additional height and torque. Saros Rover is a real product currently in development, with its launch date yet to be confirmed.
Saros 20 Series
The Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic bring Roborock’s latest mobility, navigation, and cleaning innovations into production models aimed at reducing everyday manual intervention. Central to both is the new AdaptiLift™ Chassis 3.0, which dynamically adjusts chassis height and wheel positioning to maintain traction across challenging transitions.
This system allows the robots to clear two closely spaced height changes, such as sliding door tracks, with a combined height of up to 8.5 cm, a scenario that often stops conventional robot vacuums.
Saros 20
Built for open, high-traffic homes, the Saros 20 features the StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0. This vision-based navigation platform recognises over 200 object types and scans its environment up to 21 times more frequently than traditional LDS LiDAR systems, enabling real-time map updates and stable navigation in busy, constantly changing spaces.
It is paired with a dual-spinning mop system capable of adaptively increasing downward pressure to tackle stubborn stains commonly found in high-traffic areas.
Saros 20 Sonic
The Saros 20 Sonic is tailored for compact homes with denser furniture layouts and frequent transitions between carpets and hard floors. It uses the RetractSense™ Navigation System, which combines a retractable LDS LiDAR sensor with a 100-degree rear-facing field of view, allowing the robot to clean effectively under low furniture and within tight clearances.
Reactive AI 3.0 Obstacle Recognition enhances multi-sensor perception for improved positioning accuracy, while VibraRise® 5.0 introduces a high-frequency vibrating sonic mop that maintains consistent contact along edges and in confined spaces. With precise control over downward pressure, the Saros 20 Sonic delivers thorough cleaning even where space is limited.
Price and Availability
The above Roborock units will begin their international rollout in 2026, with pricing and
dates to be announced soon.
