Roborock Introduces Saros Rover, Its Most Advanced Robot Vacuum Yet
Roborock has unveiled the Saros Rover robot vacuum at CES 2026, introducing what the company describes as the world’s first robotic vacuum featuring a wheel-leg architecture. Announced in Las Vegas, the new design is aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations of robot vacuums: navigating complex home environments with steps, thick carpets, and uneven surfaces.
Unlike conventional robot vacuums that rely solely on wheels, the Saros Rover uses a hybrid wheel-leg system that allows the robot to lift itself and climb obstacles. According to Roborock, this enables the Saros Rover to overcome higher thresholds, furniture rails, and changes in floor height that typically stop most robot vacuums in their tracks.
The Saros Rover is positioned as part of Roborock’s next-generation Saros lineup and reflects the company’s push toward more autonomous and adaptable home cleaning robots. The new mobility system is paired with advanced sensing and AI-driven navigation, allowing the robot to recognise obstacles, plan routes more intelligently, and adjust its movement strategy in real time.
Roborock says the Saros Rover is designed for modern homes that mix hard floors, carpets, and raised sections, reducing the need for manual intervention or home modifications. The company also highlighted improved cleaning performance and smarter object avoidance, although detailed specifications on suction power and battery life were not disclosed at launch.
At CES 2026, Roborock also announced a new global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club, naming the brand an official partner of the club. The collaboration is intended to strengthen Roborock’s global presence and align the brand with performance, precision, and innovation — qualities it says are reflected in its latest products.
The Roborock Saros Rover is being showcased at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. Pricing, regional availability, and a retail launch timeline have yet to be announced.
