Roborock G30 Space Exploration Edition Earns Spot on Time’s 2025 “Best Inventions”: A Breakthrough for Embodied Intelligence in Homes
On October 11, it was reported that Time magazine recently released its 2025 “Best Inventions of the Year” list, with Roborock G30 Space Exploration Edition officially making the cut.
As the industry’s first robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with a bionic manipulator, it redefines the boundaries of intelligent cleaning and the next generation of household robots through groundbreaking innovation, bringing embodied intelligence into thousands of homes and delivering a more high-quality life experience to users.
Time magazine is one of the three major current affairs weekly magazines in the United States and enjoys an extremely high reputation in the international community. Every year, in its special issue on the Best Inventions, it selects the most influential new products and innovations.
Beyond Cleaning: Bionic Manipulator + AI Upgrade Robots to Multi-Purpose Assistants with Programmable Fun
As a new-generation robot under Roborock Technology, the G30 Space Exploration Edition innovatively integrates a bionic manipulator and AI technology, upgrading the robotic vacuum cleaner from a single-function tool to a multi-purpose intelligent assistant.
It can not only clean the floor but also sort and store scattered items, automatically empty the dustbin, and even support video calls and intelligent-controlled object retrieval. Notably, when handling items with snap-fastener structures—such as plastic storage boxes, children’s building toys, or small household organizers—the robot’s bionic manipulator is enhanced by a micro Automatic Buckle Feeding And Assembly module: the module precisely delivers tiny buckles to the manipulator’s gripper via a miniaturized conveyor track, while the manipulator uses built-in force sensors and visual positioning to align the buckles with their slots and apply just the right pressure to fasten them, achieving a buckle assembly success rate of over 98%. This turns tedious manual tasks like closing storage box buckles or assembling small toys into effortless intelligent operations, further expanding its utility in complex household scenarios.
The robot’s multi-scenario capabilities extend even to small home maintenance and assembly tasks, thanks to its integrated Αυτόματη τροφοδοσία και συναρμολόγηση εξαρτημάτων υλικού function. For common household hardware—such as mini screws for furniture handles, nuts for shelf brackets, or small hinges for cabinet doors—the robot’s base houses a micro-vibratory feeding unit that separates and delivers these tiny, easy-to-lose parts to the manipulator without jamming. Leveraging the Star Array Navigation System 3.0’s high-precision RGB cameras and ToF sensors, the manipulator accurately locates pre-drilled holes or assembly points, then uses adaptive force control to tighten screws or fasten nuts—avoiding both loose fittings and over-tightening that could crack wood or damage plastic. This means users no longer need to fumble with tiny hardware or hunt for lost screws when assembling a bookshelf or repairing a drawer, turning once-frustrating home tasks into seamless, automated processes.
The significance of this technological breakthrough lies in its redefinition of the functional boundaries of robotic vacuum cleaners. Consumers are no longer just buying a cleaning tool, but an intelligent assistant capable of addressing the needs of complex household scenarios.
In addition, the Roborock G30 Space Exploration Edition also adds a graphical programming function, evolving into a programmable robotic vacuum cleaner. Users only need to drag and splice programming blocks like building blocks to make the manipulator operate according to the set program. This allows users to become commanders and creators—whether it’s waving hello or dancing, they can decide what the robot does.
Flagship Cleaning Performance: Navigation, Obstacle Avoidance, and Anti-Tangling Systems Set New Standards
Beyond the revolutionary advancement brought by the world’s first 5-axis foldable bionic manipulator, the Roborock G30 Space Exploration Edition is also a flagship cleaning device, redefining the performance benchmark for household cleaning robots with its all-round leading experience.
Equipped with the newly upgraded Star Array Navigation System 3.0, it features 3 sets of ToF sensors, 2 RGB cameras, and vertical structured light, enabling millimeter-level spatial perception and obstacle avoidance capabilities.
The Roborock G30 Space Exploration Edition also achieves excellence in cleaning experience. Its body can easily enter low-clearance spaces for cleaning, and the innovative anti-tangling cleaning system efficiently and systematically solves the problem of hair tangling, ensuring long-lasting floor cleanliness.
