TL;DR Roborock is getting into pool cleaners with its new RockAqua P1.

Another new outside model is the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR, an upgrade to the company’s lawn-mowing solutions.

Robotic vacuum cleaners are the sort of life-changing smart home upgrades you really need to experience for yourself to truly appreciate, freeing you from hours of tidying-up busywork every week. But the same sort of autonomous tech isn’t just useful for cleaning inside your home, and we’ve seen plenty of companies expand outdoors, as well — like Roborock did last year at IFA as it took on robotic lawnmowers with its RockMow series. This year the company’s back with not just a whole new lineup of products, but also another new expansion, as it introduces its first robotic pool cleaner.

It can run for up to 3.5 hours on a charge, and uses camera-based obstacle avoidance, just like the company’s robotic vacuums.
