Roborock has expanded its premium home cleaning range with the release of the G30S Pro, a robot vacuum and mop aimed at households with mixed flooring, tight clearances and more challenging layouts. The new model launches in China with pricing that translates to about $A1,180 for the version with a built-in water tank, while the plumbed-in option comes in at roughly $A1,300.
At the centre of the G30S Pro is Roborock’s latest Chassis Lift 3.0 platform, a height-adjusting system that uses artificial intelligence to alter the robot’s body position on the fly. This allows the unit to flatten itself to squeeze under furniture with clearances as low as 7.95 cm, while also lifting its chassis to clear obstacles up to 8.8 cm high, including door tracks, raised thresholds and uneven floor transitions.
Cleaning performance has also been upgraded. The G30S Pro delivers suction rated at 35,000 Pa, marking a 38 per cent increase over the previous generation. To manage hair and debris more effectively, Roborock has introduced its DuoDivide zero-tangle system, which integrates redesigned main and side brushes along with the mop assembly and caster wheel. The company says the setup can handle strands of hair up to 40 cm long without clogging.
For hard floors, the robot uses a high-frequency sonic mopping system with dual vibration zones operating at up to 4,000 movements per minute. The mop applies 14 newtons of downward pressure and keeps water heated at a steady 65 degrees Celsius to help break down stubborn marks on surfaces such as tiles, timber, marble and micro-cement.
The G30S Pro is paired with a fully automated dock designed to minimise user involvement. The base station washes the mop using boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius, dries it with 55 degree hot air and takes care of dust emptying, detergent dosing, water refilling and deodorising. Roborock says this setup can support up to 60 days of hands-free operation and includes an E12-grade filtration system.
Navigation is handled through a hybrid approach that combines laser mapping, structured light sensors, RGB cameras and auxiliary lighting. This allows the robot to identify more than 280 different types of obstacles and operate reliably in dim environments or under low furniture. Pet-focused features are also built in, including animal recognition and avoidance, along with options for pet photos, video calls and a search function.
Users can control the G30S Pro with natural language voice commands, while the SmartPlan 4.0 system automatically identifies rooms and adjusts cleaning strategies based on the space. Power comes from a 6,400 mAh battery with fast charging, making the robot suitable for larger homes without frequent interruptions.
The launch follows recent hints from Roborock about a future stair-climbing robot capable of walking between levels on its own. It also comes as competition intensifies in the smart appliance sector, with companies such as Samsung outlining AI-driven product lines planned for 2026.
