2026-01-06 09:00:00 · Corporate
LAS VEGAS – January 6, 2026 Roborock, the global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify daily life, has unveiled today its new product line-up for the first half of the year at the Consumer Electronics Show 2026 (CES 2026) taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Under the theme "The Greatest Meeting the Greatest", the brand's keynote presentation led by Roborock's President, Quan Gang, unveiled the Saros Rover, the world's first robotic vacuum with AI-powered wheel-leg architecture that can both navigate stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning them.
Announcements also included the Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock F25 ACE Pro, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. These launches happen in partnership with Real Madrid Football Club, announced ahead of the show's starting date.
Roborock also announced separate to the Real Madrid partnership its entry into the US market for lawnmower products, including the new RockMow X1 LiDAR. Consumers, clients, and interested parties can visit Roborock's Booth #52632 at Venetian Expo CES 2026 from January 6 to January 9th during show hours.
Roborock Saros Rover - The World's First Wheel-Leg Robovac
In a world-first, Roborock introduced at CES 2026 the Roborock Saros Rover, featuring the world's first two-wheel-leg architecture in a robovac. Each wheel-leg provides reach, lift, height, and imitates human mobility, enabling the robot to raise and lower each one of the wheel-legs independently, execute small jumps, agile turns, sudden stops, and directional changes, all while maintaining a level body as the ground changes.
At a software level, Saros Rover harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence algorythms, in conjunction with complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its environment and make its wheel-legs react with precision.
The Saros Rover excels in multi-storey homes, where it is able to clean each one of the steps of a staircase as it goes to the second floor, dramatically reducing "no-go" zones and transitioning into cleaning areas previously inaccessible for homes with a single robovac.
The Saros Rover is able to tackle several types of non-flat surfaces, with staircases being the most obvious one. This includes not only traditional staircases but also curved staircases, or even carpeted staircases with bullnose fronts, all while cleaning each one of their steps as it navigates through them. Other types of surfaces that Saros Rover is able to tackle include slopes as well as complex multi-level room thresholds requiring height and power. Saros Rover is a real product in development with an unconfirmed launch date.
The Greatest Meeting The Greatest - Roborock and Real Madrid Football Club join hands
Announced days before the show's beginning, Roborock presents at CES its first activation within the strategic global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club's First Men and First Women teams, widely ranked as one of the greatest football clubs in history. Under the umbrella theme of "The Greatest Meeting The Greatest", the partnership responds to a deep affinity between the brand ethos of both organizations, which have achieved remarkable historical performance with innovation as common denominator. The partnership will bring Roborock’s smart-cleaning innovations to life through stadium exposure, campaigns and player-led storytelling that translate the meaning of “Real Smart Cleaning” from the pitch to the home.
Roborock's early 2026 Robovac line-up: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow
In its keynote presentation, Clarbi Lu, product marketing lead at Roborock presented the new line-up of smart cleaning products that will be availiable to consumers during the first half of the year. Heading the lineup, the Roborock Saros 20, and Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, are the new iterations of the flagship Saros series that debuted in 2025.
The Saros 20 has upgraded the AI capabilites of its StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0 compared to previous generations, supporting the recognition of up to 201 objects and also includes an upgraded AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 - a climbing structure made of a main wheel, auxiliary wheel, and climing arm that unfolds when detecting thresholds, enabling the robot to rise higher than before to cross single thresholds of up to 1.77in (4.5cm) high or double layer thresholds of 1.77 in + 1.57 in (4.5 + 4cm) high.
On the other hand, the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic incorporates a RetractSense™ Navigation System enabling its ultra-slim 3.1 in (7.98 cm) body and a new VibraRise® 5.0 Mopping System, which features an extendanle sonic mop that scrubs at 4,000 times per minute while reaching every edge. Both Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic are powered by a 35,000 Pa HyperForce® motor and maintained by an all-new RockDock® with 212°F (100°C) hot-water washing(4).
However, the flagship Roborock Saros Series is not the only one bringing out new products. The all-time favorite Roborock Qrevo Series is launching a new model, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. The brand's first roller-equipped robovac. With SpiraFlow™ Real-Time Self-Cleaning Technology, strong 15 N downward mopping pressure, and Edge-Adaptive capabilities that let the roller extend to clean around edges, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow brings power, precision, and carpet protection to every cleaning scenario.
Rockmow X1 LiDAR, X1, RockNeo Q1 lead the Roborock North American Roll-Out of Lawnmowers
Roborock has also announced its product line-up for its newly entered lawnmower category. In the North American market, it's not only presenting its entry-level RockNeo Q1, but also two variants of its flagship product - the RockMow X1 LiDAR, and the RockMow X1.
RockMow X1 LiDAR combines Sentisphere™ LiDAR Environmental Perception, Four‑Wheel Drive (4WD) traction, Patented Active Steering, and a Dynamic Suspension System to deliver flawless coverage, edge‑perfect cutting, and hassle‑free setup. On the other hand, the RockMow X1 blends centimeter-level RTK and VSLAM navigation with powerful Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) traction, patented Active Steering System, a Dynamic Suspension System, and industry-leading edge cutting.
Lastly, the brand will also bring to North America the RockNeo Q1, an entry‑level robotic mower built to make smart lawn care accessible and effortless. Combining Sentisphere™ Environmental Perception with full‑band RTK + VSLAM navigation, Stereo Vision Obstacle Avoidance, and the optional PreciEdge™ cutting module, RockNeo Q1 delivers steady guidance, a near‑perfect edge, and a low‑stress setup for small to medium‑size gardens.
