Need some help using the robotic arm on the Roborock Saros Z70? Here are a few tips and tricks to improve its performance, plus a look at its limitations.

Roborock's Saros Z70 is the first-ever robot vacuum with mechanical arm to tidy your space while it mops and vacuums. We got to test it at an exclusive prelaunch event.

Hong Kong artist Victor Wong is using AI and a robotic arm to add a modern twist to an ancient craft.

The Roborock Saros Z70 features an articulating arm that can extend to pick up socks, tissues, and towels to help the robot clean your house more thoroughly.

While a demonstration this month was impressive, it still underscored that home robots are in their early stages even as they begin to go on sale.

The Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum cleans like a dream, but its mechanical arm, which promises to pick up small items like socks, still needs work.

The system leverages a high-def video of the incoming trash line, touchscreen software and robotic arms to eliminate the need for humans to touch trash directly.

Roborock Saros Z70 Putting a robotic arm inside a robovac is great idea, but the Roborock Saros Z70 comes up short in execution. Maybe version 2.0 will work properly.

The Saros Z70 costs $1,899, with shipping slated for May, as Roborock passes iRobot as the world’s top-selling floor cleaning robot.

Aside from iRobot’s ongoing financial crisis, the world of robot vacuums is still humming along. At CES 2025 on Sunday, Roborock announced the Saros Z70.
