US EditionI Saw a Two-Legged Roborock that Is Rocking the Robot Vacuum Market at CES 2026
Roborock's Saros Rover prototype uses AI-driven wheel-leg technology to climb stairs, navigate slopes, and jump thresholds, aiming to enable multi-story cleaning beyond traditional limits.
- At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Roborock unveiled the Roborock Saros Rover prototype that climbed stairs and performed ramps and jumps, with features and launch date TBA.
- After debuting an arm at CES 2025, Roborock pursued a two-wheel leg architecture to tackle multi-story homes and evolved from threshold climbing to stair climbing in less than two years.
- Each wheel‑leg can independently raise and bend, enabling the Saros Rover to hop, brace, swivel, and clean curved stairs and carpeted stairs with AI algorithms, motion sensors and 3D spatial information.
- Reviewers said the CES demo impressed but ran in a controlled environment, and Roborock representatives say they will not rush a launch or disclose price, noting the tech needs perfecting.
- Roborock's CES showcase positions the Saros Rover within a 2026 lineup including Saros 20, Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, and robot mowers, potentially enabling whole‑home cleaning and spurring competitors.

But the model that’s real dominating headlines right now has to be the Saros Rover – the “world’s first robotic vacuum with AI-powered wheel-leg architecture that can both navigate stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning them.” more…
They Gave Legs to a Robot Vacuum
Doesn’t it just look like it’s ready to pounce on your dirty messes and vacuum them up, and then maybe up and onto your legs to cover you with affection when you come home? Roborock, one of the Roomba’s major competitors, announced the Saros Rover. There’s no price yet, but this is a real-deal product you’ll soon be able to buy. For homes with stairs, moldings on the floors of door thresholds, and (I imagine) small obstacles left on the carpet, …
Roborock presents a suction wiper robot, which independently overcomes high thresholds and stairs without further aids and even cleans their steps. To this end, he has two articulated legs with rollers on which he is supposed to be able to perform some feats.
The Chinese brand of Roborock cleaning devices has only just begun the year, but it has already starred in important announcements, such as its agreement to be a global partner of Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, and has now followed the trend at CES 2026.As part of its participation in the technology fair held in Las Vegas, it has announced its novelties in vacuum cleaners and scrubs, dry and wet vacuum cleaners and mower robots.Despite all the numb…
Madrid. Roborock presented Saros Rover, the world’s first vacuum cleaner robot with wheels and legs capable of climbing stairs and slopes with agility similar to that of a clean human being, who heads mainly to multi-storey homes.
CES 2026: world’s first wheel-legged robot vacuum designed to tackle stairs and multi-level homes · TechNode
Roborock unveiled a concept device dubbed G-Rover at CES 2026, pitching it as the world’s first wheel-legged robot vacuum designed to tackle stairs and multi-level homes. The prototype features a dual wheel-leg architecture, with each leg able to lift independently and adjust its height. Paired with AI algorithms and 3D spatial perception, the system enables the robot to climb curved and carpeted staircases autonomously while cleaning steps duri…
