For years, robot vacuums have promised to take the hassle out of cleaning. But if you’ve ever watched one zigzag aimlessly across your rug, you know the truth: they’re great on hardwood, mediocre on tile, and nearly useless on thick carpet. That’s where the Robotin R2 steps in—and it’s not just vacuuming. It’s washing, drying, and doing it all with AI-powered precision.

Launched on Kickstarter and already smashing its funding goals, the Robotin R2 is being billed as the world’s first fully autonomous carpet-cleaning robot. It’s a compact, modular system that combines deep vacuuming, high-temperature washing, and intelligent drying—all in one sleek unit. And for early backers, it’s available at $799, nearly half its expected retail price.

What makes this robot different? For starters, it’s smart. The R2 uses an AI-Perception System with 12 sensors to detect floor types, map your home, and plan the most efficient cleaning routes. It even lets you set “no-go” zones through the app, so it won’t wander into your kid’s LEGO fortress or your pet’s favorite nap spot.

But it’s not just about navigation. The R2’s cleaning power is industrial-grade. It delivers 115 air watts of suction and 48 cubic feet per minute of airflow—enough to lift embedded dirt and pet hair from deep within carpet fibers. Anti-tangle brushes keep hair from clogging the system, and a dirt-detection feature ensures it keeps scrubbing until the job’s done.

Then comes the wash. The R2 heats water to 140°F (60°C) in just 10 minutes, using a three-stage system to tackle tough stains. It can clean up to 400 square feet of carpet per hour while recycling dirty water to reduce waste. Once the wash is done, it switches to drying mode, circulating warm air at 110°F (43°C) and using humidity sensors to ensure an even, mold-free dry in about two hours.

The robot’s docking station is just as smart. It handles water refills, waste disposal, and even charges the R2’s 10,000-mAh battery—reaching 80% in just 24 minutes. With a 1.8-liter dustbin and large water tanks, the system can run for up to 60 days without needing your attention.

Why does this matter now? Because we’re all juggling more at home—remote work, family life, and the constant battle against dust and allergens. The Robotin R2 isn’t just a cleaner; it’s a time-saver, a stress-reducer, and a glimpse into the future of home automation.

Shipping is expected to begin in March 2026, and while it won’t be available in every country, the buzz is already global. If it delivers on its promises, the R2 could be the first robot that truly earns its place in your cleaning arsenal.
