Roborock Launches Premium Robot Vacuum 'Roborock S6 MaxV,' Setting New Innovative Navigation Standards in Home Robotics Industry

Providing a Smart Lifestyle Through Roborock's Enhanced LDS Laser Sensor Technology Combined with Stereo Cameras for Optimal Robot Vacuum Navigation Technology

Roborock, a global company specializing in cleaning appliances, announced the official domestic launch of the innovative premium new product in its robot vacuum cleaner S series, the ‘Roborock S6 MaxV’.

The newly released Roborock S6 MaxV is the first Roborock robot vacuum cleaner to be equipped with stereo cameras and applies enhanced obstacle avoidance technology called ReactiveAI. It is also the first Roborock product to feature Qualcomm’s APQ8053 processor, delivering cutting-edge on-device AI and connectivity performance. Through ReactiveAI, the Roborock S6 MaxV not only recognizes obstacles on its own but also navigates around them while cleaning. This effectively addresses safety concerns that may arise when using robot vacuum cleaners in homes with children and pets.

Richard Chang, CEO of Roborock, stated, “The Roborock S6 MaxV sets the standard for the smartest robot vacuum cleaner by combining Reactive AI with enhanced laser technology to detect the size and location of obstacles and calculate the optimal cleaning path without bumping into them. As we strive to develop the next-generation robot vacuum cleaner suited for today’s living environments, we are very pleased to accelerate Roborock’s powerful image processing technology based on our collaboration with Qualcomm.”

Dev Singh, Senior Director of Business Development and Head of Autonomous Robots, Drones, and Intelligent Machines at Qualcomm Technologies Inc., said, “Roborock has achieved remarkable growth in the home robotics industry over recent years. We are very proud to support the launch of the S6 MaxV, equipped with stereo cameras powered by the Qualcomm APQ8053 processor, through our collaboration with Roborock, a leader in innovative robot vacuum cleaners. The Qualcomm APQ8053 provides the S6 MaxV with optimal on-device computing performance and ensures long battery life.”

The Roborock S6 MaxV is priced at 659,000 KRW and will be officially launched domestically on Tuesday, July 7. It will be sold through 11st, Gmarket, Auction, and Hi-Mart. Pre-orders will begin on Monday, June 29, exclusively through 11st, with a special pre-order price of 599,000 KRW.

Enhanced Obstacle Recognition and Avoidance Performance The Roborock S6 MaxV can capture images at up to 30fps through the stereo cameras mounted on the front. Its powerful image processing technology enables it to autonomously recognize obstacles such as pet waste and clutter located along the cleaning path and efficiently reroute to avoid them. The dual cameras support depth perception, allowing the device to detect and bypass objects as small as 5cm in width and 3cm in height.

Additionally, the obstacle avoidance technology, ReactiveAI, is powered by the Qualcomm APQ8053 processor, which delivers 50% faster performance compared to chips used in other Roborock S6 models. It processes images using a convolutional neural network trained on tens of thousands of images.

The Roborock S6 MaxV boasts the strongest suction power among Roborock products, offering 2,500Pa, which is a 25% improvement over the previous S6 model. It can clean fine dust on floors and remove deeply embedded dirt from carpets.

Moreover, the Roborock S6 MaxV uses a high-capacity 5,200mAh battery, enabling up to 3 hours of cleaning in low-noise mode. It can vacuum an area of up to 250㎡ (approximately 75 pyeong). It supports a smart top-up charging method that calculates the power needed to finish cleaning remaining areas when the battery runs low during large-scale cleaning and charges only as much as necessary to complete the task.

Furthermore, Roborock continuously introduces new smart software features to its robot vacuum products. In particular, the highly demanded multi-level mapping technology supports automatic recognition of up to four floors within a home.

Users can set up to 10 no-go zones and 10 mop-restricted zones on each floor, and the automatic room recognition feature divides each floor’s layout into multiple rooms for automatic identification. Users can clean only the rooms they specify, customize suction power and water volume for each room, and set the cleaning order by room.

With an increased 300ml water tank capacity compared to the Roborock S5 MAX, the S6 MaxV can mop an area of up to 200㎡ (approximately 60 pyeong). Cleaning schedules and customized settings by room can be managed through the application.
