The latest generation of robot vacuum‑mop combos brings advanced navigation, smarter obstacle detection, and more effective mopping systems. Flagship models from Ecovacs, Roborock, Eufy, Dreame, Narwal, SwitchBot and iRobot showcase lidar mapping, AI‑driven cameras, roller and spinning mop pads, and multifunction docks that can empty, wash and refill. While performance on hard floors is strong, high‑pile rugs and heavy water use remain challenges. The market is moving toward hands‑free operation with plumbing‑linked docks and AI‑guided cleaning modes, positioning these devices as increasingly capable home‑care assistants. Leia mais →

IFA 2025 showcased a parade of off‑beat technology, from a chess‑playing robot on the X Sense stand to an AI‑driven ironing machine that blasts garments with high‑speed air. A self‑flushing cat toilet from Petgugu promised litter‑free living, while Eufy introduced a stair‑climbing robot that ferries vacuums between floors. Switchbot rounded out the lineup with AI companion robots Noa and Niko, designed solely for companionship. The show highlighted how AI and robotics are venturing into niche, sometimes whimsical, consumer products. Leia mais →
