Roborock CES teaser features a robot vacuum’s greatest enemy: stairs

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Ahead of CES 2026, Roborock has dropped a new teaser for its upcoming hardware.
• While not much is shown, the image of a ball rolling down stairs suggests this could be the next challenge the company intends to address.
• Dialing up the brightness, we see what appears to be a vacuum with a new arm-and-wheel locomotion system.

We’re just about one week away from CES 2026 getting started, and tech companies have already been lining up to tease their new hardware announcements ahead of time. Last year, at CES 2025, we saw Roborock push the limits on what we’ve come to expect from robot vacuum hardware with the reveal of the Saros Z70 and its articulated arm for picking up small items. Today we’re getting a preview of how Roborock is planning to follow that one up, and it sure looks like the next frontier for the company’s vacuums could be navigating stairs.
