Since its unveiling at CES, we’ve been eagerly awaiting its release date. The S8 MaxV Ultra includes a robotic arm and an extra mop to clean up edges and corners that usually need finishing by a human.
“Our mission at Roborock is to create companions that will make everyday tasks simpler and more enjoyable through technology,” Richard Chang, Founder & CEO of Roborock.
