These is the Launchpad for many of the biggest technological outings to come, but this year, you would be forgiven to think that this is the new step for robot wars due to the pure volume of naughty and innovative robot vacuum cleaners covering the Rooms of the trade show.
Robovac manufacturers from around the world have flocked to Las Vegas to give us the first overview of what will happen in automated cleaning solutions, with everything, robotic weapons in rabbit legs making the trade in the living room. I had the chance to see most of them in action in person, and it made me quite excited – and just a little nervous – to what will happen this year.
However, all these new generation robots cannot win the title of the best emptiness of the robot that we have tested, and in fact, I do not have a suspicion that only sneaned some of the new flagship products that I Until now the bill.

Raise your hand in the air
The most obvious and attractive development of attention was the customer clearance equipment, Roborock and Dreae flexed their design skills by adding members to their future robots.
First of all, there is the Roborock Saros Z70 to an arm, which won our prize for the best emptiness of the robot in CES for its retractable robot arm which can collect items weighing up to 300 g / 10.5 Oz (like socks and toys), and deposit them safely in an area allocated to allow more complete coverage.
Not only is the Z70 informed by its detection of AI and obstacles, but there is also a camera on the arm to help it with fine engine movements. This is coupled with a secondary camera for home surveillance, allowing you to get a higher view at home by manually controlling your arm. It should be launched in May or June 2025, without any official prices confirmed at the moment. Judging by Roborock’s equipment and prices history, expect something more than $ 2,000 / £ 1,100 when it will arrive on the market later this year.
Then, there are models like the next X50 Ultra dreame, a vacuum of the robot with retractable legs which allow it to climb steps up to 6 cm / 2 inches. Although he did not always behave exactly as planned during the demos of these, I managed to catch it in action and I was quite impressed by his jump and pivot technique (less by the `Thunk ” Almighty when it goes back to the stage). It will be sold in the United States from February 13 for $ 1,699.99 and in the United Kingdom from February 7 at the price of the £ 1,299.

I imply with you to mention that really, it is an iteration on the retractable customs clearance equipment based on the wheels, with brands like Eureka demonstrating similar technology in its J15 model. It should be noted that really, the steps are not what it will be most useful for; The small barriers between the rooms, the furniture with feet which are proud of the ground and in particular the thick carpets are the most likely to benefit from this new customs clearance technology.
I test the X50 ultra out when we speak, and I am intrigued to see how well it is well between dangerous edges and manageable edges on the descent – nobody wants a Robovac that starts in the abyss.
Go downwards, the boost
The following trend moving on a range of robot vacuum is the retractable Lidar (or light detection and the task) or the sensors mounted before. The Lidar is one of the ways in which robot vacuum cleaners sail – this remote sensing technology uses laser pulses to create 3D models of its environment, allowing Robovacs to access dark spaces that are difficult to reach as under furniture.
The problem? Well, many Lidar sensors are placed on robot vacuum cleaners, housed in a short tag which can add anything to an average of 0.75 to 1.5 inches / 2-4 cm at the overall height of the vacuum . Great, except for the fact that this Also Limits access to Robovac to these same places that are difficult to reach.
This year to these, a number of brands of robot emptiness have demonstrated their bypass solutions; Models like the ultra above -mentioned Dreame X50 as well as the Mova V50 Ultra and Roborock 10 Sarbers all Lidar Retractable Sporting scanners, which sink into the device when it is time to clean under the obstacles at low gap. As great, except that this could present its own challenges in that without Lidar, these voids will now have lower visibility in spaces that Lidar presents the most advantage.
Of course, we will not know before having tested these robots in the coming months, but my personal feeling is that models like the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni, which opt for Lidar embedded sensors without periscope, could go out in the long term.
Mop until you fell
If you have been following Robot Vacuum News for over a year, you will know everything about the recent boom of the vacuum cleaner and the combined robot. More and more flagship devices have cleaning technologies, or at least include a combination model as part of the product range.
The problem? Well, I haven’t met many robot vacuum vacuum vacuums that are particularly good for cleaning. Whether it is due to poor embedded spills and detection of dirt or simply that some spots need a good amount of elbow fat, most of the vacuum vacuum and mops are best decent.
However, this could be about to change with new cleaning factors and software. Models like the new Narwal flow series to these opt for mops, which could offer faster rotations, improved cleaning of the moving tamper and better mobility to clean areas that are difficult to reach.
The roller covered with the flow fabric constantly turns, in the direction opposed to the movements of the robot. It is soaked with clean water by its water tank on board, while dirty water is powered into a dirty and dirty water tank, which means that Robovac is cleaned on the go instead of a times he returns to the reception station.
It offers wooden floor management and edges cleaning, jumping to the side if necessary, which means that you can clean up to your plinth – but as for vacuum cleaner, these annoying corners are likely to Stay a problem. The series of flows is also compatible with the Automatic Narwal Automatic Exchange Module, which allows you to seal Narwal robot vacuums for automated and dirty water management.
There are other roller mop devices, but Narwal is among the most focused on the details I have seen. In addition, it also offers excellent suction features such as cleaning the carpet, in which the device is distributed from front to back to dislodge even the most stubborn hair and debris with its brushing, and operates a Brush cover to increase pressure and improve facelift.
An honorable mention goes to the Deebot X8 Pro Omni in Ecovacs, which made its debut at IFA last year, but had a strong presence in CES. He associates with Tineco focused on the sister brand with the vacuum cleaner to improve his cleaning prowess, with a washing with self-lavery on the move, just like the Dreame X50 Ultra, as well as the improvement of the cleaning of edges.
Elsewhere, more iterative updates have appeared in models like the Eureka J15, which now offers an improvement in the detection and cleaning of transparent spills, thanks to its double camera system using both an infrared camera and A full HD camera to create 3D images on your floor.
Robovacs has become a thug
It is exciting to see new disturbing technologies find their way in the vacuum cleaners. New mechanized and motorized parts bring more possibilities of intelligent design, but they also mean that there are much more that can go wrong with these devices.
I have seen countless expensive robotic cleaners with blocked appendages or Robovacs suffering from deadly injuries due to a navigation calculation error. And this is not what you want from a robot vacuum that costs more than $ 1,500 / £ 1,000 / $ 3,000 in.
This does not mean that I have a reason to believe that the models to come this year will be bad robot vacuum cleaners, but market features with complex hardware and software is an easy recipe for a lot of Colocoly behavior in real world parameters.
Whether it is an arm, a leg or a retractable sensor, I am a little concerned that this next wave of robot vacuum cleaners are no longer flashy that they are not functional. However, it is super exciting to see these advances, and the competition stimulates innovation, so I hope that the robot gaps that I saw in these 2025 are only the first step to improve the automated cleaning of the House.
