IFA 2026 Robot Live Tracker: Launches, Prices and Updates from Berlin
UPDATE — September 4: TENNIIX, Aiper and OlloBot
Our opening-day coverage expands into sport, gardens and companion robots. These reports develop today’s announcements; they do not imply three fresh evening launches. Earlier coverage, including Roomba Duo and MOVA, remains below.
- TENNIIX: a Pro showcase and a planned padel update for selected products. What should buyers check first?
- Aiper: Smart Yard brings pool care and garden automation into one story. IrriSense 2 SE, Scuba V3 Ultra and compatibility questions.
- OlloBot: OlloNi SS1’s European showcase, with no confirmed replacement campaign date. The delay was already public on August 28. The timeline, availability and privacy questions.
Kitchen robots: a programme topic, not a product launch
The IFA programme scheduled “Robots in the kitchen and home” for September 4 at 13:15, with participants including representatives of Posha and AGIBOT. It raises the question of specialised appliances versus general-purpose robots. We do not have a discussion transcript and therefore attribute no remarks or fresh product announcements to the speakers.
Each report links its sources and distinguishes confirmed details from open questions. All earlier updates are preserved below.
UPDATE — 4 September: Roomba Duo, MOVA, ECOVACS and ANTHBOT open a new IFA chapter
The opening day brings two different types of news: new approaches to robotic work and specific commercial launch dates. They should not be confused. A prototype may signal a more interesting direction than a finished product, but a buying decision requires an actual offer.
Roomba Duo: a robot with another robot onboard
iRobot presented a system of two cooperating units. It remains a prototype, with no announced price or sales date. The important question is whether specialization reduces owner intervention. Read our Roomba Duo analysis.
MOVA: AstraX and TactiPercept
An object-handling arm and touch sensing are separate strands of MOVA's presentation. We are not treating the showcase as proof of finished autonomy or an update promised to existing owners. Explore AstraX and TactiPercept.
ECOVACS: prices and dates, specifically for the UK
ECOVACS' 4 September announcement supplies concrete details for the British launch. That is more useful than a teaser, but it does not establish availability across the EU.
| Model | UK price | Announced launch |
|---|---|---|
| DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone | £1,199 | 9 September 2026 |
| DEEBOT T90S PRO OMNI | £699 | 24 September 2026 |
| DEEBOT T90 MAX PRO OMNI | £549 | 9 September 2026 |
We are not converting these figures into supposed official euro prices. Before comparing offers, verify the sales market, exact version, package contents and service arrangements. The table records an announcement, not a stock check.
ANTHBOT R7: another approach to unfinished lawn edges
ANTHBOT unveiled the R7 series with its EdgeEase trimming arm. Pricing and regional availability are to be announced separately. The claimed edge-finishing result still needs testing across different gardens. Read the manufacturer's release.
Our editorial takeaway: the competition increasingly concerns the work left to people after a robot starts. For readers, the useful question is whether new mechanisms reduce preparation and follow-up work, not how many products appear on stage. Roomba Duo and MOVA therefore receive separate analyses, while ECOVACS and ANTHBOT remain focused updates in this tracker for now.
Primary sources: iRobot, MOVA, and the ECOVACS and ANTHBOT releases linked above. Manufacturer capabilities and specifications are not RoboMorrow test results. Checked: 4 September 2026.
Coverage archive — earlier updates
The earlier reporting remains below. Dates and forward-looking statements in archived sections refer to their original publication time; the latest update is above.
RoboMorrow is switching on its IFA 2026 Live Desk. This page will be updated instead of creating repeated generic IFA pages. Our existing 17-booth IFA 2026 robot preview remains the show map; this is the changing layer: launches, confirmed European prices and dates, new models, demonstrations and facts that materially change how a product should be evaluated.
Status: 3 September 2026, Media Day evening. The first major launch wave is now verified. The Live Desk keeps only developments that change commercial status, availability, price or the technical assessment; the public show runs 4–8 September.
Next trigger points:
3 Sep, 09:30 — Anker / eufy, H2.2-101
3 Sep, 12:00 — Roborock, H9-111
3 Sep, 13:00 — Dreame, H7.1a-101
3 Sep — ECOVACS media event, H9-113
4 Sep, 11:30 — MOVA Product Launch, H9-127
5 Sep, 12:45 — Robots on the Runway, Creator Stage
UPDATE — 3 September, 23:12 CEST: the evening IFA wave brings DJI ROMO 2 sales, Narwal's European rollout and robots beyond traditional home cleaning
By the evening, IFA 2026 had become much more commercial. This is no longer only a demo cycle: DJI launched ROMO 2 in Europe with official pricing, Narwal confirmed the European Freo 20 wave, AnAn Panda gained concrete European distribution routes, Anker broadened its home-and-garden robotics push, and ACEMATE introduced a tennis robot with a European MSRP. These are five distinct stories with their own search intent, so they receive dedicated URLs while the Live Desk remains the central index.
| Launch | What materially changes the story | RoboMorrow |
|---|---|---|
| DJI ROMO 2 | regular European launch; official prices from €1,199 / €1,299 / €1,349; Local Data Mode scheduled for Q4 2026 | NEW dedicated story |
| Narwal Freo 20 / Freo 20 Edge | confirmed European next-generation rollout and FlowWash; a separate purchase intent for the Freo 20 family | NEW dedicated story |
| AnAn Panda | European entry with Germany/Belgium distribution and a first 100-unit batch; the companion robot moves from showcase toward distribution | NEW dedicated story |
| Anker S2 Max + Omni E35 | S2 Max is Anker's first fully in-house robot mower while Omni E35 expands its cleaning line | NEW combined launch story |
| ACEMATE S10 Pro | tennis robot with a €2,999 European MSRP and preorder — a useful signal that consumer robotics is expanding beyond home and garden | NEW dedicated story |
DJI ROMO 2 is the most purchase-relevant story in this wave. The European launch now has concrete prices and commercial status, so RoboMorrow does not treat it as an expo preview. A Polish list price still needs local confirmation; we do not convert EUR into PLN and label the result as an official Polish price.
Anker and ACEMATE point to a second trend: IFA is broadening the definition of useful consumer robotics. Anker is moving across garden and floor cleaning while ACEMATE is attempting to establish a commercial sports-training robot category. Manufacturer performance figures remain claims until independently tested.
Outside this Live Desk: the evening package also contains Figure × Nscale and its $3.5B compute commitment. That is an important Physical AI story, but it is not an IFA event, so it is deliberately excluded from this show index.
Primary sources for this update: DJI Europe, Narwal, Mind With Heart Robotics, Anker Innovations and ACEMATE.
UPDATE — 3 September, 15:45 CEST: LUBA 4 AWD and Navimow H5 Pro move the mower battle from autonomy to finishing the edges
The afternoon IFA wave matters because two brands targeted the parts robot-mower owners still dislike: unfinished borders and turf damage during turns. MAMMOTION unveiled LUBA 4 AWD while Segway Navimow formally revealed H5 Pro. Both point toward the 2027 generation and both combine multiple sensing systems, but they approach the “last five percent of manual work” differently.
| Model | Core change | RoboMorrow action |
|---|---|---|
| MAMMOTION LUBA 4 AWD | 360° LiDAR + NetRTK + four cameras, independently steered front wheels, bidirectional driving, optional edge trimmer | NEW Database profile + NEW LUBA 4 vs LUBA 3 |
| Navimow H5 Pro | 7.7 cm EdgeMaestro, Xero-Turn AWD, LiDAR + Vision + NRTK and thermal small-animal sensing | NEW Database profile |
LUBA 4 AWD: MAMMOTION confirms 3000F / 6000F / 12000F variants covering roughly 3,000–12,000 m². The new generation moves from LUBA 3's dual-camera setup to four cameras while retaining 360° LiDAR and NetRTK. The most important mechanical change is independent front-wheel steering plus bidirectional driving, intended to reduce pivoting, wheel scrub and visible turf rings. AWD remains rated up to 80% / 38.6° slopes; MAMMOTION also quotes 60 mm obstacle crossing and up to 1.0 m/s mowing speed. The edge-trimming module is an extra-cost accessory and is not compatible with 12000F.
Navimow H5 Pro: EdgeMaestro extends the cutting system by 7.7 cm and is designed to follow hard, soft and irregular borders. H5 Pro uses Xero-Turn AWD rated to 80% / 38.6°, up to 6 cm obstacle crossing and EFLS Tri-fusion combining LiDAR, Vision and NRTK. VisionFence 360° adds a thermal IR sensor to cameras and LiDAR to improve small-animal detection in low light. Navimow says availability begins in early 2027, but has not announced pricing.
RoboMorrow is not adding a rushed “best IFA mower” ranking today. LUBA 4 still lacks pricing and final regional specifications, while H5 Pro does not yet have a complete retail product page. We build the product owners first and a generational LUBA 4 vs LUBA 3 comparison; rankings wait for the full Hall 9 picture and confirmed retail data.
UPDATE — 3 September, 14:45 CEST: Roborock reveals the next wave, and RoboMorrow separates launches from noise
After Roborock's keynote, there is enough primary-source detail to move from preview to concrete coverage. The official IFA 2026 line-up includes RockAqua P1, Saros 20 Flow Complete, Saros 20 Neo, F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2, F25 Pro Turbo Combo and RockNeo Q2 LiDAR, alongside RockMow Z1 LiDAR. The strategic story is not simply “seven new products”: Roborock is building three parallel autonomy clusters — floors, lawns and pools.
| Launch | What is genuinely new | RoboMorrow decision |
|---|---|---|
| RockAqua P1 | pool robot; 15 cm shallow-area cleaning, ClearVision, 6800 GPH, dual filtration, waterline mode | NEW Robot Database profile; distinct intent and a new Roborock category |
| Saros 20 Flow | SpiraFlow 2.0 continuously refreshed roller, 16 fresh-water outlets, 240 rpm; still 36,000 Pa | NEW Flow vs Sonic comparison; a real roller-vs-sonic buying decision |
| RockNeo Q2 LiDAR | 360° LiDAR + dual-camera vision, AI mapping, ReactiVision, 3 cm hardware edge distance | NEW Robot Database profile; no duplication of yesterday's Q105 vs Q110 comparison |
| Saros 20 Neo | 7.95 cm, AdaptiLift 3.0, tangle-free cleaning | HOLD until full specifications and regional positioning are clear |
| F25 Gen 2 | wet/dry cleaning, not a robot | SKIP for the RoboMorrow Robot Database |
RockAqua P1: the European product page is now public. Roborock specifies shallow-platform cleaning from 15 cm, route planning for bowl floors, slopes and steps, vision-based drain-cover avoidance, a dedicated Waterline Cleaning Mode, ClearVision debris prioritisation, 6800 GPH / 25,700 LPH suction, 180 + 70 μm filtration and a 4 L basket. When cleaning ends or battery drops below 15%, Auto Waterline Parking is designed to bring P1 back to the waterline. Roborock still says a fuller reveal is coming, so RoboMorrow will not invent a price or final sales date.
RockNeo Q2 LiDAR: the official European page confirms 360° LiDAR combined with dual-camera vision, automatic boundary detection without a perimeter wire, ReactiVision, passages down to 0.6 m, slopes up to 45% and vertical obstacles up to 4 cm under manufacturer testing. PreciEdge has a 3 cm structural hardware distance to the boundary; Roborock explicitly notes that actual edge cutting also depends on lawn geometry and OTA software logic.
Saros 20 Flow vs Sonic: this is the strongest post-launch buying comparison. Both sit at 36,000 Pa and use advanced chassis systems, but they solve floor washing in fundamentally different ways. Flow uses a SpiraFlow 2.0 roller that is continuously refreshed with clean water; Sonic uses the extending VibraRise 5.0 pad with 14 N pressure and 4,000 vibrations/min. That distinction deserves its own comparison owner rather than being bolted onto the existing “Saros 20 vs Sonic” article.
Dreame and ECOVACS: both have Media Day events today, but at this cut-off RoboMorrow does not have an equally complete first-party European product package comparable to Roborock's published pages. Secondary reports are not promoted into definitive specifications. The Live Desk remains the monitoring surface; separate owners wait for exact models, official EU facts and primary-source materials.
Affiliate rule: new IFA products without a verified exact offer do not receive random shopping links. In the Flow vs Sonic comparison, Amazon is linked only where RoboMorrow has verified the exact Saros 20 Sonic Amazon.com ASIN. Flow is explicitly marked as not yet having a verified Amazon listing/public price at this verification point.
UPDATE — 3 September, 06:58 CEST: Media Day is where the robotics race gets real
IFA Media Days are already under way. IFA's official 2 September briefing puts Physical AI at the centre of the show narrative, noting that AI is increasingly beginning to operate in the physical world rather than only generating content. RoboMorrow will therefore not create another generic IFA article. This Live Desk gets updated first; a separate URL is earned only by a launch with a distinct search intent, an exact model and verified facts.
| Today | Where | What must be verified before a separate article is created |
|---|---|---|
| 09:30 — Anker / eufy | H2.2-101 | exact Omni S2 + MarsWalker status, EU price/date, supported stair geometry, landing-space requirements and failed-docking behaviour |
| 12:00 — Roborock | H9-111 | EU SKUs/prices; whether RockAqua P1, Saros 20 Flow/Neo and RockNeo Q2 LiDAR deserve new owners or should extend existing clusters |
| 13:00 — Dreame | H7.1a-101 | new category/model names only after the official launch; Europe, timing, MSRP and hardware-vs-software delta |
| 13:00 — ECOVACS | H9-113 | new models, European multi-category robotics strategy, price/timing and whether manipulation or multi-floor autonomy is a product or a demonstration |
The key change since 1 September: Roborock has published a much fuller official IFA lineup. Products marked NEW include RockAqua P1, Saros 20 Flow Complete, Saros 20 Neo, F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2, F25 Pro Turbo Combo and RockNeo Q2 LiDAR; RockMow Z1 LiDAR also remains on the IFA page. RoboMorrow will not automatically turn this into six separate news URLs. Yesterday's Saros 20 vs Saros 20 Sonic, RockNeo Q105 vs Q110 and RockMow Z120 LiDAR vs Z150 comparisons already serve important buying intents. Today's launch should strengthen or update those clusters rather than cannibalise them.
Today's rule: Live Desk first → NEW/UPDATE decision second → PL+EN publication third. For Roborock, the critical check is whether a launch has a distinct search intent from existing profiles and comparisons. For humanoids, arms or any robot carrying an “AI” label, a stage demo is not treated as evidence of useful autonomy without teleoperation disclosure, a complete task sequence and commercial status.
September 1: what is already confirmed?
Roborock currently has the most concrete pre-show product disclosure. Its official IFA page lists products including F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2, F25 Pro Turbo Combo and RockNeo Q2 LiDAR, while IFA also confirms robotic lawn mowers in the company's product scope. The strategic signal is broader than one vacuum launch: Roborock is moving from a single cleaning category toward a wider portfolio of autonomous home and outdoor machines.
A second pre-show priority is Yarbo M Series. Yarbo says the final M Series will make its first offline public appearance at IFA 2026. The M platform is positioned for standard residential yards, while Y Series remains the heavier system for larger properties. RoboMorrow will focus on final dimensions, real module swapping, European price and delivery, plus cross-series module compatibility only if the company explicitly confirms it.
September 3: the day that may set the IFA robotics narrative
09:30 — Anker / eufy. IFA confirms the “Ultimate, Unified” press conference at H2.2-101. For robotics, the eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S2 + MarsWalker system is the main watch item. MarsWalker is a stair-climbing carrier for the vacuum, not a robot that cleans the stair treads themselves. If it genuinely automates movement between floors, it attacks one of the biggest physical limits of home robots.
12:00 — Roborock. The H9-111 keynote covers robot vacuums, cordless wet/dry products, robotic lawn mowers and washer-dryers. The core questions are not simply what is on stage, but which exact models ship in Europe, when, and at what MSRP.
13:00 — Dreame. IFA describes the Dreame Innovation Launch as spanning smart home cleaning through “entirely new categories.” The full model list is not public, so this tracker will not pre-name products from leaks. Only models and facts from the official launch will be added.
ECOVACS — H9-113. IFA Media Days also lists an extended ECOVACS media event with executive presentation, flagship showcase and hands-on demonstrations. It is an important trigger because ECOVACS can answer the accelerating race around arms, rollers, stations and multi-floor systems.
September 4: MOVA and the first full show day
MOVA's Product Launch is scheduled for 4 September at 11:30 at H9-127. The official exhibitor page already marks Z70 Ultra Roller Complete as NEW. The bigger question is whether MOVA presents a coherent robotics ecosystem or simply a broad catalogue of AI-labelled appliances.
Hall 9 will be the centre of home and outdoor robotics
| Company | Booth | Live Desk priority |
|---|---|---|
| Roborock | H9-111 | new models, EU SKUs, pricing, LiDAR/vision, category expansion |
| ECOVACS | H9-113 | 2026 flagship, manipulation, stations, practical autonomy |
| Navimow | H9-121 | LiDAR vs RTK/vision, signal-loss behavior, CEE availability |
| Yarbo | H9-122 | final M Series, modules, EU price/delivery, M vs Y |
| MAMMOTION | H9-123 | SPINO / launches, positioning stack, terrain, European service |
| MOVA | H9-127 | Z70 and any genuinely new robotics categories |
Hall 25: a humanoid demo is not automatically a product
IFA Next has an unusually strong Physical AI and robotics presence this year. RoboMorrow priorities include Unitree H25-145, MagicLab H25-149, EngineAI H25-349, PUDU H25-354, AGIBOT H25-371 and DEEP Robotics H25-407.
Our rule is simple: choreography, dancing and backflips are not evidence of useful autonomy. Each demo should be tied to the exact model, teleoperation involvement, preparation time, complete task, failure recovery and commercial status.
When does a launch deserve a separate article?
A new URL is created only when there is a genuinely new product/category with its own search intent, important confirmed European pricing/availability, or several substantive new facts that are not already served by an existing article or Robot Database profile.
If a company repeats known specifications, changes a regional name or shows a product that has been public for months, RoboMorrow updates an existing owner. The goal is for IFA to strengthen topical authority rather than leave behind dozens of thin, overlapping news pages.
How the RoboMorrow IFA Live Desk works
- Launch: identify exact model and primary source.
- Verification: separate verified fact from manufacturer claim.
- Europe: ask price, date and countries — especially PL/CEE.
- Evidence: capture model label, sensors, underside/end-effector, dock/battery and a 15–30 second uncut task.
- Publish: same-day PL+EN only when the story earns a new URL.
- Compound: after IFA, every useful news item should graduate into a Robot Database card, comparison, ranking or analysis.
IFA 2026 rule: one verified fact that changes a buying decision or the evaluation of a technology is worth more to RoboMorrow than ten Marketing “world firsts.”
What will be updated on this page?
The tracker will add timestamped updates for 3 September — Media Day, 4 September — opening day, and then Hall 9, Hall 25 and robotics-programme findings. Major product launches will link back here, creating one central IFA 2026 index rather than an unstructured stream of articles.
Which information actually matters to a buyer?
Trade shows make it easy to publish everything that appears on a keynote slide. RoboMorrow will filter IFA announcements by whether they change a buying decision or the technical evaluation of a category. In robot vacuums, a higher suction number may matter less than a new mopping architecture, threshold handling, object manipulation, multi-floor operation or a lower intervention rate. In robot mowers, the important question is not simply LiDAR versus RTK, but what happens under trees, in narrow passages and when one positioning signal disappears.
For humanoids and service robots, the filter is even more practical. We will ask for the exact model, payload, runtime, autonomy level, SDK access, European support, price or RaaS model, and whether a task is completed without teleoperation. If a company does not provide those answers, the information gap itself can be meaningful — but RoboMorrow will not fill it with speculation.
European availability is a separate filter
IFA is a global show, while RoboMorrow has a particular interest in Europe and CEE. A product can be an impressive launch and still lack European pricing, certification, distribution or service. For every major release we therefore try to establish five things: European MSRP, shipping date, first-wave countries, warranty/service conditions, and subscription or consumables cost.
That matters more in robotics than in many conventional electronics categories because sophisticated hardware without local support can be a risky purchase. For B2B robots we also want the deployment model: outright purchase, lease, RaaS, integrator, SLA and parts availability. The Live Desk is therefore designed to be more than a launch list — it should help separate robots that are real European products from technology demonstrations.
What would count as a bigger post-IFA trend?
After the show, RoboMorrow will look beyond individual winners. Is home robotics shifting from single devices to multi-category systems? Are outdoor robots moving toward sensor fusion rather than one positioning technology? Are wheeled semi-humanoids proving more practical than full bipeds? Are power-tool and outdoor-equipment companies acquiring robotics capabilities? And most importantly: is Physical AI finally shipping products, or still mainly shipping demonstrations?
