Roborock Saros Rover

With the slogan ‘The Greatest Meeting the Greatest’, Roborock announced its partnership with Real Madrid Club de Fútbol to present some of the brand’s new products, such as: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow and Roborock F25 Ace Pro

Roborock, a key player in domestic robotics designed to simplify everyday life, presented its new range for the first half of the year at the Consumer Electronic Show 2026 (CES 2026) in Las Vegas. With the motto “The Greatest Meeting the Greatest”, the brand presentation, led by Roborock President Quan Gang, unveiled Saros Rover, the world’s first AI-powered wheel-leg architecture robot vacuum cleaner that combines wheels and legs, capable of climbing stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning.
Other announcements included: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock F25 ACE Pro and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. These announcements come in partnership with Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, a collaboration announced shortly before the show.
Roborock also announced, separately from this partnership, its entry into the US market for gardening products, including the new RockMow X1 LiDAR.

The world’s first robot vacuum cleaner with wheel-leg architecture

In a world first, Roborock has introduced the Saros Rover, featuring the first architecture that combines two ‘wheel-legs’ in a robot vacuum cleaner. Each ‘limb’ offers extension, lifting and elevation capabilities, mimicking human mobility. This allows the robot to raise and lower each ‘wheel-leg’ independently, perform small jumps, agile rotations, sudden stops and changes of direction, while keeping the body level even on uneven terrain.
At the software level, Saros Rover leverages the power of artificial intelligence algorithms, complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its environment and react with precision. Saros Rover excels in multi-storey homes, being able to clean every single step of a staircase as it climbs to the upper floor, drastically reducing inaccessible areas.
Saros Rover is capable of overcoming various types of uneven surfaces, with stairs being the most obvious example: we are talking about traditional and spiral staircases, or even stairs with carpet and rounded edges. Saros Rover travels up and down stairs while cleaning the steps.
Other types of surfaces that Saros Rover can reach include slopes and uneven surfaces in multi-level rooms that require elevation and power. It is a product currently in development; the launch date will be announced shortly.

The Greatest Meeting The Greatest’ – Roborock and Real Madrid together

Announced a few days before the start of CES 2026, Roborock is presenting its first activation with a global strategic partnership with the men’s and women’s first teams of Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, one of the greatest football clubs in history.
With the motto ‘The Greatest Meeting The Greatest’, the partnership responds to a deep affinity between the brand values of the two organisations, which have achieved exceptional performances throughout history with innovation as their common denominator. The initiative will bring Roborock’s innovations to stadiums and through campaigns involving players to convey the concept of ‘Real Smart Cleaning’ from the playing field to the home.

The range of robot vacuum cleaners

During the keynote, Clarbi Lu, Roborock’s marketing manager, presented the new range of smart cleaning products that will be available in the first half of the year.
Leading the range are the Roborock Saros 20 and Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, the two new additions to the flagship Saros series that debuted in 2025.
The Saros 20 has enhanced the artificial intelligence capabilities of its StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0 compared to previous generations, supporting the recognition of up to 201 objects. It also includes an updated AdaptiLift™ Chassis 3.0: a climbing structure consisting of a main wheel, an auxiliary wheel and a lifting arm that deploys when it detects thresholds. This allows the robot to lift itself higher than before to overcome single thresholds up to 4.5 cm high or double-layer thresholds of 8.5 cm (4.5 + 4 cm).

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic


On the other hand, the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic integrates a RetractSense™ navigation system that enables an ultra-slim 7.98 cm body and a new VibraRise® 5.0 washing system. The latter is equipped with an extendable sonic mop that scrubs 4,000 times per minute, reaching every corner. Both the Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic are powered by a 35,000 Pa HyperForce® motor and are supported by the brand new RockDock® base with 100°C hot water washing.


However, the flagship Roborock Saros series is not the only one to feature new products. The highly popular Roborock Qrevo series is launching a new model, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, the brand’s first robot vacuum cleaner equipped with a roller. Thanks to SpiraFlow™ real-time self-cleaning technology, a strong downward scrubbing pressure of 15N and Edge-Adaptive features that allow the roller to extend to clean along edges, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow offers power, precision and carpet protection in every cleaning scenario.

The debut of lawnmowers in North America

The Roborock RockMow X1

Roborock has also announced its revamped range in the lawnmower category, which it recently entered. In the North American market, not only is the base model RockNeo Q1 being introduced, but also two top-of-the-range variants – RockMow X1 LiDAR and RockMow X1. The RockMow X1 LiDAR combines Sentisphere™ LiDAR Environmental Perception, four-wheel drive (4WD), patented Active Steering and a Dynamic Suspension System for flawless coverage, perfect edge cutting and easy installation. RockMow X1 combines millimetre-accurate RTK and VSLAM navigation with powerful four-wheel drive (4WD), patented active steering, a dynamic suspension system and industry-leading edge cutting.

Roborock will also bring RockNeo Q1 to North America, an entry-level mower for affordable and effortless lawn care. RockNeo Q1 combines Sentisphere™ Environmental Perception with a multi-band RTK+VSLAM navigation system, Stereo Vision Obstacle Avoidance and the optional PreciEdge™ cutting module. This gives RockNeo Q1 stable navigation, precise cutting even along the edges of the lawn and easy installation for small to medium-sized gardens.
