[MOVA] Allow users to customize obstacle avoidance

Unfortunately, it doesn’t sing the riff in Defying Gravity as it flies.  https://preview.redd.it/55njk23qifcg1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=4f7d5cbb13843a98c71e70898f8ca55b641543e1 # TL;DR:  * Flying robot vacuums are real: The **Pilot 70** flying carrier was showcased as a remote-controlled prototype designed to transport vacuums to hard-to-reach areas like sunroofs or balconies. However, internal job postings for **Flight Control Experts** suggest the autonomous flight system is still in active development rather than ready for retail. * The **ZEUS 60** is a modular stair-climbing unit that will carry your robot vacuum, capable of scaling steps up to **9.84" (25cm)** high. It features an anti-tip X-shaped lifting frame and is designed for compatibility with future MOVA models. * Flagship V70 has a bagless base station and customizable obstacle avoidance  * The MOBIUS 60, the first robot vacuum and mop combo that can switch its mops for different rooms, was also shown off.  MOVA at CES 2026 showed off several robots for their 60 and 70 series.  # The 60 Series: **The MOBIUS 60** https://preview.redd.it/83fde4iohfcg1.jpg?width=3200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e12028e4e2f4a06f094d139276469b5fd189df0e This model has been announced and has been sold since last year. It’s the first robot vacuum that can switch its mops for different rooms. You can check JustADad’s review of it here: [https://youtu.be/LsQ8hDOMbB0 ](https://youtu.be/LsQ8hDOMbB0?si=bSGscb5gBKqh3tTI) **Features** * 12N of mopping force with flexipress mops * A pressure retention baffle in the brush cover to improve suction on carpets * 212ºF/100ºC mop washing * Swaps mops (HyperClean for tougher stains, ThermoHold for everyday mopping, and Plush for delicate floors), depending on the rooms or mess it’s cleaning. * 12N of downwards force when mopping with the FlexiPress mop pads Personally, this model isn’t for me as I don’t have that many floor types that would need three different mops, nor do I care too much about the same mop being used in different rooms. **SIRIUS 60** Features of the Sirius (from MOVA): **1. Dual Robotic Arms for 3D Cleaning** Featuring an innovative bionic dual-arm design, Sirius combines a cleaning arm for sweeping blind spots with a grasping arm for organizing objects. The two arms work in coordination to handle large items for efficient sorting and storage—bringing cleaner, tidier living spaces with minimal effort. **2. Bionic Cleaning Arm** The cleaning arm offers four-directional mobility and integrates an edge brush to reach into narrow gaps and ultra-low spaces. It removes dust and debris from hard-to-reach blind spots, delivering a truly thorough cleaning. **3. Bionic Gripping Arm** Inspired by the human hand, the gripping arm features 7 degrees of freedom for flexible movement and auto-selection of optimal grip points. The four-claw design ensures stable holding of items in various shapes and sizes—combining precision with reliability. **ZEUS 60** https://preview.redd.it/cqjtcy6whfcg1.jpg?width=4800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8f3c0cfa5b0bfba41d9988d302a76e4041a7512 Features of the Zeus (from MOVA):  1. **Stable Multi-Stair Adaptability** Equipped with dual-sided independent climbing modules and a smart integrated system, ZEUS navigates asymmetrical stair layouts with ease. Front-mounted dual drive wheels enhance turning agility and grip stability. No need to worry about falling off or damage to your stairs. Over 10 sets of sensors work in synergy to identify stair structures and plan real-time routes—effortlessly adapting to straight stairs, spiral stairs, and quarter-pace stairs. **2. Up to 9.84” (25cm) Step-Climbing Ability** Raising the bar in industry performance, ZEUS tackles a wider range of household stair heights with ease. The Hyper Lifting Solution ensures smooth and stable climbing: Its Space Tech Inductive Interconnection System (front sensors) delivers precise step-height detection, while the anti-tip X-shaped lifting frame automatically adjusts its elevation to climb steps up to 9.84" (17cm to 25cm). The advanced structure guarantees stability during ascent, while remaining compact when retracted. **3. Cross-Model Compatibility** ZEUS features a highly adaptable modular design that integrates seamlessly with most future MOVA products—helping maximize flexibility across the product lineup. https://preview.redd.it/qfzhieazhfcg1.jpg?width=4800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=318cc4cd1e74551a81443be0fb40a8405f644777 Pricing, availability, and compatible models for the Zeus and Sirius 60 are unknown, as these are still concept models. These two robots were shown off at IFA 2025 in Berlin. From what I’ve heard, 2027 should be the earliest timeframe for release.  # MOVA’s 70 series The Pilot 70 can literally defy gravity, but it looks like it’ll stay on the ground as a concept https://preview.redd.it/d1iy8mc2ifcg1.jpg?width=4800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77a31a89d191e89118e16053909ead533be614e5 MOVA states that this robot will help compatible robot vacuums reach areas that were previously inaccessible to robots, such as a flat sunroof, a balcony, and double height liviing rooms https://preview.redd.it/z5mlurq3ifcg1.jpg?width=4800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a986ae200f3843858097788edf1c6e43a0436fc It’s currently controlled by a remote controller, which suggests this concept is very much in the prototyping stage. MOVA is *Sirius* about a flying robot For those who want their robot to fly, it’s likely this will remain a concept for 2026, as MOVA is still actively recruiting talent for its drones. Job openings include a drone pilot, a flight control algorithm expert, and a flight control expert, with the latter role requiring “Proven leadership in full-cycle flight control system development; experience in **large-scale commercial or military** project implementation.” If this ever comes to market, I hope they iron out all the kinks before they land on store shelves. **V70 Ultra Complete:** https://preview.redd.it/h7wpp9y4ifcg1.png?width=740&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a9233c4cc8803d95f4aa79bc695285b8a14e868 New features: * Claims 40,000 pascals of suction power. As I’ve *always* said before, these numbers don’t really mean anything, as other factors, such as brush agitation, airflow, and the complexity of the path the air has to take, are also just as important in helping a robot clean well.  * Customized Obstacle Avoidance Master: Not much is revealed, but my guess is that you get to have more control over the robot’s obstacle avoidance to better suit your home (perhaps POANG chair owners can finally rejoice).  * EcoCycle Dust Collector. A bagless auto-empty bin. It looks like it won’t have too many nooks and crannies with a frosted plastic finish, so it would be easy to empty and clean. I personally prefer dust bags as they’re the easiest to change out and take a rather long time to fill up, but I’ve seen people want flagship robots with a bagless auto-empty dustbin in the base station as people have been sharing 3D printed bin designs. I hope you can use either a dustbag or the bagless dustbin :) * 300 RPM flexipress mopping: This is the highest RPM I’ve seen on spinning mops. Expect the same 12N of downward force found on the P70 Pro and Mobius 60. **P70 pro ultra:** https://preview.redd.it/uk7zuwh9ifcg1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8539f470e47ada99a665c90259919abf1bbca08b * 12N of mopping pressure with up to 260RPM (like the V50) * Mop removal and mop lifting are supported * 100ºC mop washing **S70 Ultra Roller and the S70 Roller:** https://preview.redd.it/9b2s1mweifcg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd93d648cb66afd5bb0bfec8258e803088b33eee This line represents the mid-range roller mop option. * Achieves a total height of **90mm (3.54”)** via embedded dToF sensors, which MOVA calls CovertSense. * 212°F/100°C mop washing for the Ultra Roller and 176°F/80°C for the standard Roller. * Includes a larger **5L** clean-water tank at the base station. Is the bagless **EcoCycle** bin enough to make you ditch the convenience of dust bags? Would you trust a robotic drone to ferry you between floors, or would you prefer one on each level?
