On March 29, Chinese tech company Roborock hosted its global launch event in Beijing, unveiling two flagship cutting-edge robotic vacuums: the V20 and G20S (S8 MaxV Ultra), both of which are intelligent automatic sweeping and mopping robot cleaners. Why it matters: A leading brand in the field of robotic vacuum cleaners, Roborock is looking to use technology from China’s rapidly developing self-driving car sector in the hopes that the country’s consumers are ready for robotic home appliances and labor-saving devices. “Our goal is to bring Roborock robotic vacuum cleaners into one hundred million households worldwide,” he said. The company said the Roborock app, which controls the robotic vacuum cleaners, boasts over 11 million users, with one million daily active users. Catering to China’s animal lovers, the app has recently introduced a Pet Mode that can remotely search for and photograph pets at home with the robotic vacuum.
