LAS VEGAS — At CES 2026, the floor of the North Hall is crowded with specialized cleaning bots—vacuums for carpets, mops for hardwood, and heavy-duty scrubbers for tiles. However, Robotin has arrived at the convention with a different philosophy: instead of filling a home with half a dozen specialized robots, why not have one highly intelligent core that can do it all?
Marking their debut at the Consumer Electronics Show, Robotin is introducing a "modular ecosystem" that aims to simplify home maintenance while bringing high-end robotic capabilities to a mainstream price point.
The Robotic Core: A "Car" for the Home
The heart of Robotin's innovation is the Robo-Car (or "revercal"), a mobile base designed to act as the primary transport and brain for various cleaning tasks. Rather than being a fixed device, the Robo-Car is an adaptable platform that users can "attach different modules to" depending on the chore at hand.
The true technical achievement lies in the Robo-Car's perception and adaptation system:
- Automatic Module Recognition: The robotic base is engineered to instantly recognize which specific module a user has attached.
- Dynamic Algorithmic Switching: Once a module—such as the carpet washer or the vacuum/mop combo—is detected, the Robo-Car "reaches for a different algorithm." It automatically adjusts its navigation, suction power, and liquid management to match the specific requirements of that module.
- Special Perception System: The base utilizes a sophisticated perception system to understand the "reality" of the floor, detecting whether it is on carpet or a hard surface and adjusting the water flow or brush speed in real-time.
Solving the "Heavyweight" Challenge
In the early stages of development, Robotin faced the common industry hurdle of balancing multi-functional hardware with efficiency. "This is difficult because, in the beginning, we were still the worst reservoir of heavyweight washing," a representative admitted.
The solution was the move toward a modular design. By splitting tasks into swappable components, the company ensured that the robot wouldn't be burdened by the weight or complexity of tools it didn't need for a specific job. This allows for:
- Targeted Cleaning: A specialized carpet washing module that doesn't have to carry the extra weight of a mopping reservoir when it isn't needed.
- Future-Proofing: An ecosystem where Robotin can "launch more modules to do different home tasks" in the future, allowing the customer to upgrade their robot's capabilities without buying an entirely new base unit.
A Premium Life at an Affordable Price
One of the most striking aspects of Robotin's CES debut is their stance on pricing. Many all-in-one robotic systems with auto-empty and auto-wash stations easily exceed $1,500 USD, often alienating middle-income families.
Robotin is taking a stand against what they call "income cross"—the idea that only high-income households should enjoy the benefits of advanced automation.
"I don't want them to lie up but I want to feel the product I'm going to enjoy the product... I don't want that your income is too low or you cannot enjoy," the spokesperson stated. To achieve this, Robotin has set a target price of approximately $1,000 USD.
For this price, the company aims to provide a complete "new life" experience that includes:
- Simultaneous Vacuuming and Mopping: High-efficiency cleaning for hard floors.
- Automated Maintenance: A base station that handles dirty water extraction, automatic water refilling, and "auto washing and drying" of the mop pads.
- Autonomous Navigation: Advanced mapping and pathfinding that allows the robot to work "by himself."
Launch Strategy and Market Entry
While CES 2026 serves as their formal introduction to partners and the tech community, the public won't have to wait long to get their hands on the hardware. Robotin plans to launch officially online this year, around July.
The initial launch will focus on establishing a reputation for reliability and meeting the core needs of customers who are tired of the "hot roaring" and inefficiency of traditional, non-modular robots.
The Roadmap to CES 2027
Robotin's vision for the future is one of continuous expansion. As they look toward CES 2027, the company is already deep in development for the next phase of its modular ecosystem.
- Full Mass Production: By next year, the company expects to have finished the mass production transition for its current flagship line.
- New Task Modules: The focus for 2027 will be the "arm module" and other specialized modules that expand the robot's utility beyond just floor care.
- Ecosystem Growth: The ultimate goal is to offer a fleet of modules that can handle almost any "home task," truly turning the Robo-Car into an indispensable household assistant.
Robotin is proving that the future of home robotics isn't found in more devices, but in more capable ones. By prioritizing modularity, intelligence, and accessibility, they are opening the door for everyone to "enjoy this kind of new life" in a cleaner, smarter home.
