On CES 2025, Roborock presented a robot vacuum that picks up objects and moves the socks, which means you don't have to tidy up the room before starting the robot. Sounds great, right? What we know so far:

Roborock Qrevo vs. Saros. What's new?
-
OMNI Grip Arm
During its first cleaning session, the Roborock Saros Z70 marks all objects it detects to lift and clean those missed areas when circling back after the clean for the second time. The robot also relocates the objects (up to 300g) when they're blocking them from going to an uncleaned area.
The Arm is equipped with LED lights, a camera, and other sensors. With the second camera located on the robot's front, the robot sees the environment from a higher spot for better accuracy when needed to move the objects. That bunch of sensors helps the arm to determine its position, surroundings, and the weight of each object it grips.
You can control the whole gripping or relocating process in the Roborock app.
-
Auto Mop Removal
The Saros Series automatically identifies when the robot initiates the vacuum-only task and leaves the mopping pads on the base. It helps to prevent unwanted dampness. (Needs to be activated in the Roborock app)
-
Hot water mopping
The multi-functional dock refills the water tank with warm water.
Cleaning mechanics
The new Dual Anti-tangle system keeps the side brush, main roller, and omni wheel clean, making maintenance easier than ever.
FlexiArm Riser side brush: The robot extends its side sweeper and a mop to get deeper into corners. When going around the furniture, the robot lifts and retracts the side brush to prevent collisions.
AdaptiLift Chassis: The chassis helps the robot to climb up to 4cm thanks to a three-wheel control for versatile lifting. Depending on the task, the robot lifts a side sweeper, main brush, or mopping pad, or everything at once.
StarSight 2.0 & object recognition
The StarSight 2.0 is an upgraded version of the previous StarSight we've seen in the Roborock Qrevo Slim.
It is a bunch of sensors that scan the environment, creating a 3D map to minimize bumping into things. Thanks to that, the Roborock Saros is only 7.8 cm tall and can get under most furniture. With VertiBeam obstacle avoidance technology, the robot maneuvers around irregular walls and furniture and even avoids unfolded cables.
The Roborock Saros has the most advanced object recognition technology in the lineup.
Mopping
Two of three robots have a double-rotating mopping system with a FlexiArm design mop, which means the robot extends the mop along the walls and corners.
The Roborock Saros 10 has a Vibrarise 4.0 system. It is a solid pad that vibrates. In addition to this, the robot has a small wheel for extra edge cleaning, too. When detecting stains like coffee spills, the robot lifts its omnidirectional wheel, ensuring extra pressure with the mop.
The Saros series automatically detects when the mopping pad is unnecessary and leaves it on the base before vacuuming.
Smartly, the robot detects when the brush or mopping pad is not needed and lifts it automatically.
Pet-friendly robot
When operating, the robot detects a pet and stops; during cleanups takes pictures of your pet that you can download; allows video calling and talking to your pet in two-way voice chat.
Multifunctional Dock 4.0
The Multi-Functional base stands by 8-in-1 Hands-Free maintenance. It does the following things:
- Self-empty
- Auto-wash the mops with hot water
- Auto-fill the water tank with warm water (new)
- Cleans the dock base with hot water
- The detachable dock base has an upgraded design, so it stays nice and clean after every wash with hot water, and it is detachable
- Dries the mopping pads with hot air
- DirtDetect monitors the dirt levels, adjusting the wash duration, and if it detects heavy stains, the robot returns to the dock to re-wash the mops
- Fast charging & Off-peak charging
- Removes the mop when the robot is in a vacuum-only mode (new)
- Fill the water tank with detergent
All you have to do is fill the water container and start the robot.
The RockDock Ultra 2.0 (Saros 10) does the same functions designed for the Vibrarise 4.0 mopping system.
Roborock Saros Z70
Key features:
- OmniGrip Mechanical Arm (handles objects up to 300g)
- Dual camera for object gripping accuracy
- Gripping manual control
- Startsigh 2.0
- AI-Powered Customization (flag an object to move)
- The new FreeFlow brush
- DirtTech technology
- Intelligent lift (adapts to messy areas, lifting the brush, side sweeper, or mopping pad)
One of the latest Saros series models features a distinct auto-empty station and ample power.
With a dual anti-tangle system and the newest brushrolls, the Saros Z70 handles hair tangling like a pro
Innovations: the OmniArm.
The arm is capable of handling objects up to 300g. When the robot sees one, it uses its hand to move it out of the way. A dual camera system improves object gripping accuracy.
Gentle-grip design and a built-in weight sensor prevent excessive squeezing
The arm moves obstacles, lifts objects, and even organizes small household items like socks and tissues. With AI customization, users can tag up to 50 new objects, alongside 108 pre-programmed ones. The OmniArm can be controlled manually in the app.
Innovative navigation and obstacle avoidance technology
Starsight 2.0 is a next-gen 3D sensing that works with VertiBeam to recognise and avoid objects the robot senses.
The robot's body is only 3,14 in tall
Cleaning mechanics:
The newest Free-flow roller type and a dual anti-tangle system, the robot prevents hair tangles. AdaptiLift Chassis helps it to cross up to 4 cm obstacles.
In different situations, the robot smartly adapts to a cleaning strategy, either lifting a roller to clean spilled liquids or raising the pads on carpets.
Hot water mopping changes mopping completely, making the process more efficient and smooth.
The Roborock Saros Z70 is the most innovative robot vacuum so far
The Roborock Saros Z70 is made for everyone.
Saros 10
One of the latest Saros series models features a distinct auto-empty station and ample power.
Roborock Saros 10
Rich-featured station, the newest navigation technology
A different mopping system. Automated cleaning
$1,599.99 Amazon
The Saros 10 has a vibrating mopping pad and a different base. It still has object recognition and a powerful motor, yet it does not intelligently identify when it needs to re-wash the pad or re-mop some areas.
The robot is a premium machine that doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the best Saros Z70.
Ideal if you don't need extras
Roborock Saros Z70 vs. Saros 10
- Different mopping systems
- Starsight 2.0 vs. RectractSence navigation technology
- FreeFlow vs. DuoDivide roller system
- Lack of OmniGrip Arm
The two have different navigation and obstacle avoidance technologies. The Saros 10 retracts its LDS under the furniture, while the Saros Z70 uses 3D technology to scan the surroundings.
Since mopping is different, the stations are designed to wash either Vibrarise or double rotating pads. The Saros 10 lifts the pad to 18 mm, whereas the Saros Z70 can do so higher. Both leave the pads on the station when switching to mop-only mode.
Both robots have a dual anti-tangle system, only the Saros Z70 comes with the newest FreeFlow roller system, which the company claims to be the best at resisting hair tangles.
Only the Roborock Saros Z70 has the OmniGrip Mechanical Arm.
The biggest difference between the Saros 10 and the other two is:
- Vibrating mopping system
- Navigation and obstacle recognition technology
Saros 10R
The Saros 10R has the same Multifunctional base as the Saros Z70 with intelligent re-wash and re-mop technology and double rotating mopping pads.
The robot has 22k Pa of power which makes the Saros series the most powerful in the industry.
Roborock Saros Z70 vs. Saros 10R
- FreeFlow vs. DuoDivide roller system
- Lack of OmniGrip Arm
The two have the same navigation, obstacle avoidance technology, and mopping system. Also, the two share a Multi-functional dock 4.0.
The only difference between the two is the lack of the OmniGrip Arm and the functions related to it.
To Sum Up
The Saros Z10 is the most advanced robot vacuum on the market to date.
If you want a vibrating mopping system, have a look at the Saros 10.
For the newest navigation technology, consider getting the Saros 10R.
