AutonomySmartPlan 3.0 schedules and adapts cleaning with multi-floor maps and zone settings. Obstacle recognition is a manufacturer capability claim, rather than a guarantee that every cable or small object will be avoided.SmartPlan 3.0 selects cleaning settings and can schedule routines. Curtain locations must be marked manually; revisiting areas temporarily blocked by people or pets must be enabled in the app.
Remote controlRoborock app, onboard buttons and built-in voice assistant; RGB camera supports remote viewing and video calls.Roborock app, onboard buttons and built-in Hello Rocky voice assistant.

SensorsStarSight Autonomous System 2.0 uses front and rear navigation sensing, 3D time-of-flight and an RGB camera; wall, cliff and carpet sensors are identified in the manual.Retractable LDS navigation, upward and wall sensors, cliff and carpet sensing, structured-light obstacle recognition and RGB camera. Maker's object-recognition count is a capability claim, not guaranteed avoidance.
CameraRGB camera for obstacle recognition and remote viewing. The manufacturer warns that obstacle and stain recognition depend on conditions and app settings.RGB camera supports obstacle recognition, pet snapshots, remote viewing and video calls. The maker warns that features and illustrations can change and do not guarantee recognition of every object.
AudioMicrophones and a built-in voice assistant; the manual identifies microphone locations.Built-in microphones, speaker and Hello Rocky voice assistant, identified in the exact-model manual.
ConnectionsManual lists 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, with regional indoor-use restrictions on some 5 GHz bands, and Bluetooth LE 5.4.The CE manual specifies 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ax and Bluetooth LE 5.2. The maker advertises Matter support and third-party Alexa, Siri and Google Home control.
Size and weightRobot 350 × 353 × 79.8 mm. The UK store publishes 15.89 kg for robot plus dock, not robot-only weight; that combined figure is not used as the robot's weight. Claimed access under 79.5 mm furniture involves slight front-structure compression and can cause scraping.Robot 352 × 350 × 79.8 mm (width × depth × height), with 4.96 kg robot-only net weight in the UK store. Dock 402 × 494 × 450 mm. Claimed 79.5 mm furniture access uses slight compression of the front structure and may cause scraping; it is not the rigid body height.
AccessoriesRobot, multifunction dock, dock base, power cable and rotating mop modules. Set bundle adds two dust bags and two mop pads.

Start from the dock and keep it in place for reliable return.
DockRockDock automatically empties dust, refills the robot from its water tank and doses detergent. Maker maximum mop-washing water temperature 100°C and drying air 55°C; these are dock functions, not temperatures applied to the floor. Base and dust-bag drying are also supported.Automatic dust emptying, detergent dosing and warm-water robot refilling. Maximum 100°C mop washing and base self-cleaning, with 55°C outlet drying air, are dock functions rather than floor temperatures. Detachable base can be washed separately.

NavigationStarSight 2.0 3D time-of-flight navigation with RGB obstacle recognition and lateral sensing. No raised navigation turret is required.RetractSense keeps the navigation turret raised for 360-degree scanning and retracts it beneath furniture with a 100-degree rear view. Reactive AI combines structured light and RGB sensing; VertiBeam adds lateral obstacle detection.
CleaningDuoDivide split main brush and extendable FlexiArm side brush. The chassis, main brush and mop modules adjust height according to the cleaning mode. Claimed dynamic cleaning for carpet pile up to 30 mm needs enabling in the app.DuoDivide split main brush and FlexiArm Arc extendable side brush. Chassis adjusts for carpets with pile up to 30 mm; special carpet settings must be enabled manually.
MoppingTwo rotating mop discs; one extends towards edges. Pads can be lifted and automatically left at the dock for vacuum-only work. Maker maximum downward mop force 13 N.Two rotating mop discs, with edge extension, automatic lifting and dock detachment. Maker maximum downward force 14 N; maximum 200 rpm applies to extreme water flow in custom mode. Warm water refilling supports warm-water mopping, but the floor-applied temperature is not specified.
Suction conditionsMaximum 36,000 Pa manufacturer suction claim. This is not a measured pickup result and does not establish comparative cleaning performance across brands.–
Obstacle clearanceMaker single-threshold claim up to 45 mm; double threshold up to 45 + 43 mm requires a gap greater than 120 mm and no more than 140 mm in its laboratory test. The 88 mm total is not a single vertical-step clearance.Maker double-threshold claim up to 45 + 43 mm requires a gap greater than 120 mm and no more than 140 mm in its laboratory test. The 88 mm combined claim is not a single vertical step or staircase capability.
MaintenanceManual calls for main-brush cleaning every two weeks, side-brush cleaning monthly and tank/filter care. Clean-water filling, dirty-water emptying and replacement dust bags remain necessary despite the dock automation.Manual brush and filter cleaning, tank filling and emptying, and replacement dust bags remain necessary. Maker's up-to-65-day emptying interval depends on household conditions.
