Roborock’s Saros Z70: A Leap Forward in Domestic Robotics
At the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Roborock introduced the much-anticipated Saros Z70. This innovative domestic robot features a unique mechanical arm designed to handle everyday household tasks in a way that could redefine the future of home automation.
Key Features and Capabilities
The standout feature of the Saros Z70 is its mechanical arm, which employs a five-axis OmniGrip system. According to Roborock, this breakthrough technology allows the robot to pick up and move specific items around the house, such as socks, paper balls, and certain types of footwear. This gimmick aims to eliminate the typical need to declutter before using the robot, adding an extra layer of convenience.
Performance and Design Compromises
However, this innovation comes with some trade-offs. To accommodate the mechanical arm, Roborock had to decrease the dust tank capacity to 180 ml, one of the smallest among recent models. Additionally, the vacuuming performance dropped slightly, particularly on rugs. Despite these setbacks, the Saros Z70 still excels in mopping, thanks to its raised mops and effective edge cleaning capability.
The Roborock App Experience
The accompanying Roborock app is one of the highlights, offering extensive customization and control. Users can pre-set cleaning routines, define no-go areas, and even control the mechanical arm manually via camera view for precise object handling. Additionally, the app facilitates the “Smart Plan 2.0” mode, where the robot learns user habits and optimizing cleaning paths independently.
Price and Market Position
The Saros Z70 is priced at €1,799, positioning it more as a luxury item for tech enthusiasts rather than a mainstream solution. While more traditional models from Roborock and competitors offer comparable performance at lower prices, the Saros Z70 stands out as a symbol of the future of domestic robotics.
A Glimpse into the Future
The Saros Z70 is not without its limitations, but it represents a significant step towards the robot companion of the future—one that can perform multiple tasks efficiently. Looking ahead, advancements in both hardware and AI will no doubt overcome current challenges, making domestic robots even more useful and autonomous.
