ECOVACS showcases acceleration towards full-scenario service robotics at CES 2026

ECOVACS ROBOTICS has unveiled a broad portfolio of next-generation service robots at CES 2026, outlining its ambition to build a fully integrated, multi-scenario robotics ecosystem for the home and beyond. The showcase in Las Vegas highlights the company’s latest developments across robotic floor cleaning, window cleaning, lawn care, pool maintenance and digital companionship, underscoring a strategic shift from single-function devices towards a more holistic vision of service robotics.

At the centre of the announcement is ECOVACS’ focus on embodied intelligence, a concept that combines physical robotics with AI-driven perception and decision-making. The company positions this approach as the next stage in the evolution of home robotics, building on years of experience in robotic vacuum cleaners while expanding into new categories that address a wider range of everyday tasks. According to ECOVACS, this transition reflects both the maturity of the robotic vacuum market and changing consumer expectations for more autonomous, adaptable and intelligent machines.

Alongside product launches, ECOVACS also introduced a new brand idea at CES 2026, signalling a clearer articulation of its long-term direction. The brand message, “ECOVACS, Created for Ease”, frames robotics as a means of reducing everyday effort and simplifying modern living, rather than as purely technical innovations. The company describes this positioning as a reflection of its responsibility as an industry leader, with a focus on solving complex engineering challenges in ways that deliver tangible, practical benefits to users.

David Cheng Qian, Vice Chairman of ECOVACS Group and CEO of ECOVACS ROBOTICS, said the new brand idea reflects the company’s commitment to using service robotics to relieve users of routine household tasks. He added that it represents more than a slogan, embodying ECOVACS’ responsibility to continuously advance technology and user experience to support a more effortless modern lifestyle. “Created for easier intelligent cleaning, ECOVACS is among the first to introduce robots with embodied intelligence, and with this we enter the next era of our evolution,” he said.

New DEEBOT models and the evolution of OZMO ROLLER technology

A major part of the CES showcase is dedicated to the latest DEEBOT robotic vacuum cleaners, including the newly announced DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI and the DEEBOT X12 Family. These models mark the next evolution of ECOVACS’ OZMO ROLLER Instant Self-Washing Mopping Technology, which the company describes as a core differentiator in deep-cleaning performance.

The upgraded OZMO ROLLER 3.0 system introduces a longer 26 cm roller that is 50 per cent longer than the previous generation. This design allows the robot to cover more floor area in a single pass, delivering doubled cleaning efficiency in mop-only mode. The system also incorporates pressurised self-washing, using 16 nozzles to spray water directly onto the roller during operation. This process is designed to remove embedded dirt continuously, reduce streaking and minimise secondary contamination caused by dirty mop pads.

Since its introduction on earlier models, OZMO ROLLER technology has played a central role in ECOVACS’ positioning in the robotic vacuum segment. The company reports cumulative global sales of more than 1.6 million OZMO ROLLER-equipped units, accounting for over 91 per cent of worldwide sales in the self-washing roller mopping robotic vacuum cleaner category. ECOVACS credits this performance with helping to redefine expectations for automated floor cleaning, particularly in homes with mixed flooring and higher cleanliness demands.

The DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI is positioned as a next-generation mid-range model that brings many premium features to a broader audience. In addition to OZMO ROLLER 3.0, it integrates PowerBoost Technology with Perpetual Runtime, enabling extended cleaning sessions across larger homes. The robot is designed to offer improved edge coverage, stronger obstacle-climbing capability and reduced maintenance through ZeroTangle 4.0 technology. It is paired with an OMNI Station that supports heated mop washing and automatic wastewater self-cleaning, aiming to deliver a largely hands-free experience. ECOVACS has indicated that the DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI is expected to be available in Singapore soon.

Further up the range, the DEEBOT X12 PRO OMNI and DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone introduce additional deep-cleaning capabilities targeted at stubborn stains. These models use an infrared stain detector combined with dual high-pressure nozzles to identify heavily soiled areas and apply crossed water jets that break down dried residue before mopping. The X12 Family also features upgraded PowerBoost Charging Plus, which enhances charging power and optimises cleaning algorithms. This allows the robots to clean areas of up to 1,000 square metres in a single stable run, reducing interruptions and improving overall efficiency.

With these upgrades, ECOVACS said it is reinforcing its leadership in the robotic vacuum cleaner market, where the brand has ranked first by market share in China for ten consecutive years from 2015 to 2024.

Expanding beyond cleaning into a diversified robotics ecosystem

Beyond floor care, ECOVACS used CES 2026 to demonstrate how its robotics expertise is extending into a wider range of domestic and lifestyle scenarios. The company traces this strategy back to its early focus on real-world user needs, starting with the introduction of the world’s first robotic window cleaner and continuing through lawn care and pool maintenance.

At the show, ECOVACS revealed the robotic pool cleaner ULTRAMARINE, marking its entry into pool maintenance as a new category. This launch sits alongside updates to its robotic lawn mower lineup, including the GOAT A and GOAT O series, and the latest robotic window cleaner, the WINBOT W3 OMNI. Together, these products illustrate ECOVACS’ ambition to apply core robotics technologies across multiple household environments rather than limiting them to indoor floor cleaning.

The WINBOT W3 OMNI introduces a multifunctional station equipped with a Vortex Wash function, which automatically cleans the wiping pad during operation. This design eliminates direct contact with dirty water and manual cloth handling, moving window cleaning closer to a fully automated process. ECOVACS has highlighted its sustained leadership in the robotic window cleaner segment as evidence of continued user trust in its product offerings.

CES 2026 also marks ECOVACS’ entry into digital companionship with the introduction of LilMilo, the company’s first robotic pet companion. Designed around embodied intelligence, LilMilo combines multi-sensory perception with expressive, pet-like behaviour. ECOVACS positions the product as a new form of interaction that goes beyond functional cleaning, introducing warmth and engagement into human-robot relationships.

Supporting this expanding product portfolio is a vertically integrated supply chain and a wide range of independently developed technologies, including batteries, AI systems, motors and transmission components. In 2024, ECOVACS reported total R&D investment of US$126 million, a 7.3 per cent year-on-year increase, with cumulative R&D spending exceeding US$638 million since 2018. The company has also accelerated investments in specialist technology firms to strengthen its embodied intelligence capabilities.

Today, ECOVACS ROBOTICS serves more than 38 million households across nearly 180 global markets. Through its CES 2026 showcase, the company has positioned its latest products and brand direction as part of a long-term commitment to making robotics more accessible, more capable and more seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
