Vacuums aren\u2019t the only place Roborock is making a dent this year, as the robotics specialist looks to clean and cut your lawn, too.<\/p>\n

The future sci-fi shows painted may finally be on its way to happening, because robots are here, and they\u2019re coming for your chores.<\/p>\n

There are robotic window cleaners, robotic pool cleaners, and who can forget the robo-vacs cleaning your floors by vacuum and mop, saving you some time for the background maintenance, and they\u2019re about to be joined by more robots in the backyard.<\/p>\n

Robo-mowers aren\u2019t a completely new concept, having been handled by the likes of Husqvarna<\/a> and a few other players in the past, but the makers of the robo-vacs are seemingly getting into this category, with Roborock set to join.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The maker of one of our best reviewed robovacs, the Qrevo Edge<\/a>, Roborock is getting into lawnmowers with the RockMow and RockNeo, mowers that don\u2019t manage to look anything like the circular robotic vacuums you\u2019ve seen prior, and instead come across like lawnmowers without the handles. <\/p>\n

You won\u2019t need them, because this is an automatic mower with the ability to judge your lawn on its own.<\/p>\n

Instead, the RockMow Z1 and S1, as well as the RockNeo Q1, rely on cameras and AI to analyse lawns and terrain, and use AI-based avoidance technology to cut grass while ignoring things it shouldn\u2019t. For at least one of the models, the movement is powered by an all-wheel drive technology, allowing each wheel to have its own independent in-wheel motor so it can climb steep slopes and keep on cutting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word on pricing in Australia yet, but with three Roborock automatic mowers on the way, it suggests there should definitely be some choice.<\/p>\n

Roborock\u2019s foray into mowers has launched at IFA 2025, the world\u2019s mid-year technology show in Germany, and they\u2019re also not alone.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Roborock is also showing off the Saros Z70 robotic vacuum with an arm, a model launched earlier this year<\/a> that will now come with a new feature: it can use AI to recognise up to 108 objects to pick them up, and owners can use the app to define and label more objects around the home, using the labels as a way of identifying them during cleaning. <\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be able to necessarily pick those objects up using the arm, but Roborock says that a programming mode will let people move the arm and play with it, almost to be fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a different take on vacuums for robotic-vac maker Roborock, as the company offers a manual maintenance option in the H60 and H60 Hub.<\/p>\n

Instead of being a robotic vacuum, the H60 is a stick vac you would need to use, providing a washable tank and a specific hub that can automatically empty the vacuum.<\/p>\n

Some aspects of the H60 are a little reminiscent of what Dyson has offered in the past, such as a green light at the front of a head<\/a> to highlight dust and other particles, though the built-in self-cleaning hub is something we\u2019ve not seen from a stick vacuum prior, beyond the one that came with Ecovacs\u2019 T30 robo vac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the robo-mowers aren\u2019t yet priced, the H60 should be available shortly, priced from $999 in Australia and $1299 in New Zealand.<\/p>\n
