This new robovac has an arm and can phone home
Roborock’s newest robot vacuum has an arm and can call your mom.
Launching at CES 2024 in Las Vegas this week, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra has an (admittedly very small) arm that pushes the robot’s side brush out further to get into corners. The $1,800 (gulp) S8 MaxV also includes a new voice assistant for controlling the vacuum without another smart device, 10,000 Pa of suction power, support for Matter, and a new camera — enabling AI-powered obstacle avoidance and video calling. They come with the new Q Revo Dock 2.0 that charges the robot, auto empties the bin, washes the mops with hot water, and dries them with warm air.
