The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra becomes the first vacuum robot in space.
In an impressive achievement, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra became the first robot vacuum to travel to space, completing its mission and returning successfully. Below is the story.
A vacuum robot has managed to travel to space, becoming a remarkable example of innovation in home technology. The device in question is the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, an advanced vacuum and mop that features an all-in-one charging dock. Although only the robot made the journey, the achievement is significant.
This feat was made possible thanks to a collaboration with Sent Into Space (SIS), which allowed the vacuum to ascend to the stratosphere using a 25-meter diameter hydrogen balloon. The device reached an altitude of 110,000 feet, with a total flight time of approximately two and a half hours. Despite the extreme conditions of space, the S8 MaxV Ultra was able to survive the trip, demonstrating its resilience. During the journey, the robot continued to operate, activating its features such as the DuoRoller side brush and the voice assistant "Hello Rocky."
Roborock proudly stated that this experience confirms the durability and quality of its product when facing temperatures that fall below -60°C. This event not only highlights the capabilities of the S8 MaxV Ultra but also underscores the rise of modern engineering. The company emphasizes that this event symbolizes its commitment to excellence and its mission to redefine the smart home experience.
The vacuum's journey to space was more than just a whim; it is a demonstration of its resilience and a testament to the potential of current technology. Roborock seeks to inspire people to think big and push their limits. The S8 MaxV Ultra has not only proven its worth in space, but it also continues to operate effectively on Earth.
As for its features, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra comes with a powerful dock that performs multiple functions. This automatic device returns to its base to recharge, empty itself, and perform self-maintenance. It can clean the dirt and dirty water tanks, refill the clean water, and even self-wash, allowing for weeks of use without manual intervention. Additionally, it offers a deep cleaning system and mopping capabilities.
It also has a voice assistant that supports the Matter smart home protocol, making interaction with the vacuum a simple and accessible task. This development highlights how technology is evolving to make our daily lives easier in surprising ways.
