CES 2026 is approaching quickly, and this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the most important yet for robot vacuums, floorcare technology, and AI-powered smart-home cleaning solutions. With major brands receiving Innovation Awards and several new robots expected to debut, CES is once again set to define the future of home cleaning.
Below is our preview of the top floorcare and home robotics companies to watch—and what we know about their plans for CES 2026 so far.
Ecovacs: Expanding Into Whole-Home Robotics
Ecovacs confirmed its presence with the Deebot X11 OmniCyclone, named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree. The company stated it will debut its most “ambitious lineup to date,” including:
- New robotic mop/vac systems
- Next-generation AI obstacle avoidance
- Expanded product categories beyond floorcleaning
Ecovacs’ booth is expected to highlight full-home robotic automation.
Tineco: Intelligent Hard Floor Cleaners
Tineco is set to return to CES 2026, where the company plans to showcase its latest smart floor-cleaning and home cleaning technologies. According to Tineco, its exhibit will feature hands-on demonstrations of products across its FLOOR ONE lineup and broader vacuum portfolio, with a focus on intelligent, sensor-driven cleaning solutions designed for modern living spaces.

Roborock: New Premium Robot Vacuum Expected
Roborock is listed as an official CES 2026 exhibitor. While the company has not yet revealed its plans for the show, Roborock has recently previewed the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow—its first roller-mopping robot vacuum—on its website. Beyond this early product reveal, Roborock has not announced which models, if any, will appear at CES.
However, based on Roborock’s historical CES patterns, it is reasonable to expect potential announcements involving:
- A next-generation flagship vacuum/mop robot
- Upgrades to its high-end navigation and AI systems
- Enhancements to its automatic cleaning base stations
- Expansion into new smart-home appliance categories
More details will be added once Roborock publishes its official CES 2026 announcements.

Dreame Technology: Multiple CES 2026 Innovation Award Winners
Dreame enters CES 2026 with strong momentum. Three upcoming Dreame products were officially named CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honorees, including:
- Aqua10 Ultra Roller Robot Vacuum – featuring a continuous-roller mop system (See our review)
- H15 Pro Heat Wet/Dry Vacuum – combining heated cleaning with a robotic arm for edge cleaning
- Furcatch FP10 Air Purifier – a next-generation pet-focused filtration system
According to Dreame’s website, the company also plans to showcase its X60 Series, CyberX, and Cyber10 robot vacuums at CES 2026.
With AI navigation improvements, updated mopping technology, and expanded whole-home cleaning features, Dreame is expected to be one of the most talked-about floorcare brands at CES this year.
Samsung: Largest CES Showcase Ever With AI at the Center
Samsung has confirmed it will showcase its latest vacuum cleaner innovations in its largest CES exhibit to date, combining home appliances, TVs, and smart-home products under one massive exhibit space.
AI and interoperability will be major themes across Samsung’s CES 2026 announcements.
LG Electronics: New Robot Vacuum With Built-In Station Wins CES 2026 Innovation Award
LG has earned a CES 2026 Innovation Award in the Home Appliances category for its upcoming Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Built-In Station—a system that appears closely related to (or possibly the same as) the concept LG previewed at IFA 2025. By using an existing cabinet cavity, LG aims to provide a clean, built-in aesthetic that hides the station while enabling completely hands-free maintenance.
More details are expected as CES approaches.
Narwal
Narwal has shared additional details about their upcoming Narwal Flow 2, stating that the robot will feature dual 1080p RGB cameras intended to support obstacle detection and navigation. According to the company, the system relies on AI-based processing to identify objects in real time and select cleaning paths around them.
Narwal is also emphasizing advances to the mopping system, including what it describes as heated water flow and real-time self-cleaning functionality. The company claims these features are designed to improve performance on stubborn messes and reduce ongoing maintenance.
Deglace
Deglace will showcase the Fraction cordless vacuum cleaner at CES 2026. The product previously launched on Kickstarter as “the world’s first modular vacuum built to last,” where it significantly exceeded its funding goal during its campaign. Fraction is positioned by the company as a modular, repairable alternative to conventional cordless vacuums that are typically difficult to service or upgrade. According to Deglace, the design allows users to replace major components—such as the battery, motor module, and electronics—without tools, with the aim of reducing electronic waste. More details here.
Robotin
Robotin plans to demonstrate the Robotin R2, with live carpet-cleaning demonstrations scheduled throughout the show. The Robotin R2 is a modular robot designed to switch between autonomous vacuuming and automated carpet washing using dedicated modules. According to the company, the carpet-cleaning system uses a three-stage process—scrubbing, extraction, and drying—and is supported by a dock with large clean and dirty water tanks and heated water up to 140°F (60°C). When configured as a vacuum, the R2 features a 2-liter onboard dustbin.
Xlean Robotics
Among the robot vacuum announcements ahead of CES 2026, xLean has revealed the xLean TR1, a transformable floor-washing robot vacuum designed to operate as both an autonomous robot and a handheld cleaner. According to the company, the TR1 aims to combine everyday floor maintenance with on-demand spot cleaning, using a dual-form design and adaptive cleaning strategies. Read more
