Beijing – Homemade harvesting robots will soon become available to reality.
At least this is what Kuan Gang, President of Viaum Clears Roborock based on Beijing Roborock’s base when it strategies the next five years. Campaign ranks first among reasonable vacuum cleaners in the world marketAccording to IDC research. Last week he reported Almost 79% profit In the first half of this year. About half of the sales occurred outside China.
In an exclusive CNBC interview on Wednesday, Kuan predicted that by 2030 robots similar to a person will become part of many households, largely thanks to the achievements of the general artificial intelligence.
And before that, he hopes that Roborock can make his last, high-class high-class remedy with a robotic hand that works on AI, so cheap that the mass market will be able to buy it no more than a few hundred US dollars.
“If we focus only on the premium seggent, in the end, except for the best robotic campaign -cleaning company in the world, we will have nothing,” Kuan said in a mandarin translated by CNBC. He noted that Vacuums Robot still does not have a very high level of penetration into the house.
China, the largest vacuum market for the price, has a penetration level of only 5.6%, while the US, the second largest market, has 22% penetration, according to Euromonitor for 2025. The firm predicts the penetration in the US to 24.1% in the next two years and the edges up to 5.5% in China.
Competition in robotic vacuum + robotic hand category warmed earlier this year American consumer electronics showWith Roborock and at least two other Chinese competitors that produce demonstrations. A hand that works on AI removes obstacles from the cleaner path when it rolls autonomously.
So far, Roborock only started selling one called Saros Z70 – but with a big price tag about $ 2600 at Amazon.com. The site shows 141 reviews and 4.6 rating. Roborock did not share specific sales figures.
Initial Saros Z70 reviews from American technology sites such as Suppress and wired was not struckEspecially given the price, but hoped for more capable versions soon. Both recommended consumers to follow a more traditional Roborock Saros 10r – sold for $ 1600.
Robot vacuum cleaner must develop products that “advanced bridge technology and basic prices to accelerate,” said Gin Liu, senior analyst of small instruments in Euromonitor International.
But even if the price decreases, it will only be a small step to the help of a robot with cooking and other household chores.
To date, our homes are “only a successful application (robots),” said Jeff Bernstein, President of the Automation Association Association (A3). “This is after four decades of talking about how we will have robots in our house.”
“What made a (robot) vacuum cleaner is not much,” he said. According to him, in order to enter the houses, in order to enter the homes, there must be a convincing quality at the price.
Humanoids such as Chinese Startup Unitree, Still costs tens of thousands of US dollars And until there are obvious cases of using households.
Navigation of tariffs
Despite its ambitions of the mass market, Roborock said he had to raise the price of SAROS Z70 by $ 700 from the initial $ 1899.
Quian said Roborock started working with suppliers late last year in Vietnam, where he said the company could fulfill all its North American orders.
Going forward, he said the company was considering global affiliate relations with supply chains, but not necessarily invest in the construction of its own factories. Roborock plans on Hong Kong’s list are primarily raising capital for international expansion, Kuan said, noting that the company is also expanding outside the vacuum.
Despite the 79% of Roborock’s revenue growth, the company has doubled its expenses, largely in research and development, in the first half of the year, deciphering the company’s losses.
This year, the company hired nearly 100 experts of II and hires, with almost 200 experts this year. He said many new hired education or work experience.

Campaign Built a special lab II in Shanghai And the research institute in Shenzhen, shortly after the founding of Roborock in 2014. Asked about the computing power, Kuan said there were a lot of solutions and that buying Nvidia chips is not the only option.
As for the improvement of the robotic hand that works on AI and making it cheaper, “the problem is primarily with the algorithm and data,” he said, not the equipment.
Humanoid applications
As AI becomes more critical for home robots, Qan has an even greater vision.
“If this robot in your home needs to be cleaned, then he will have to integrate the knowledge of the Roborock has accumulated over the years in algorithms, models, data and training,” he said. “Then it can be mounted on a robot as an app.”
“This robot can be Tesla or Unitree or Strange, … But in the area of cleaning it will be inseparable from the robock,” he said, saying that the company has the best data on the cleaning assignment. He said another company could have the best data for robots.
According to Morgan Stanley, the humanoid market will probably reach 5 trillion. Dollars, only $ 800 billion.
“With humanoids, if they cannot do more than one thing, they are fighting against an existing formal factor that can do one very well,” Bernstein said. But NE noted that companies around the world expect that there is a large market for safe, affordable humanoids that can cook, clean, help the elderly and do other things.
“We are not there yet with this technology, but maybe we will come there, and perhaps this multitasking will become a differentator,” he said. “So you don’t need 5 robots. You may just need it.”
