Advanced feature
A revolution in robotic cleaning
The OmniGrip arm of the Saros Z70 is a five-axis foldable part, intended to pick up things such as socks, light sandals, and small dog toys. This is a major leap in the world of robotic vacuums. The AI-powered cleaner detects items it can pick up during its cleaning cycle, and comes back to pick them up once the initial cleaning is done.
Cleaning process
Saros Z70's two-pass approach ensures thorough cleaning
After picking up the identified items, the Saros Z70 goes on to clean the areas that were previously covered by these objects. This two-pass approach guarantees a thorough cleaning of your home. The OmniGrip arm employs precision sensors, a camera, and an LED light to determine its position and check if an item is too heavy for it to lift.
User interface
User control and customization via Roborock app
To use the OmniGrip arm, you'll have to enable it using the Roborock app. The platform also lets you define what kind of objects the arm can pick up and where they should be placed. Such user control and customization adds a whole new dimension to the robotic vacuum experience, making home cleaning even more efficient.
