Dyson has unveiled the Spot+Scrub AI robot vacuum cleaner with localized AI treatment and a full self-cleaning station

Dyson has officially unveiled its new Spot+Scrub AI robotic vacuum cleaner in China. The device is positioned as a premium home assistant with powerful suction, advanced navigation and a fully automatic self-cleaning station. The new product is priced — 5,499 yuan (about $778).
Spot+Scrub AI is housed in a compact 373 × 370 × 110 mm body and uses a «roller-over-wheels» design that hides the bottom wheels so dirt doesn’t collect and spread back onto the floor. A 27-centimeter roller and Dyson’s proprietary AI processor, which performs trillions of operations per second, are responsible for cleaning.

The robot is equipped with a dual-line LiDAR and HD camera that scans the space seven times per second and recognizes nearly 200 types of objects. Dyson claims a 40% improvement in recognition accuracy in low-light conditions compared to previous models. The processor builds a real-time map of the room and adapts cleaning strategies as the layout changes.
The company calls Dyson’s algorithm «clean-freak»: the robot won’t travel any further until an area of the floor reaches a predetermined level of cleanliness. Suction power reaches up to 18,000 Pa, and on carpets, the robot automatically quadruples power. There’s also a rotating side brush, an anti-hair coil system and a 10mm lift mechanism to protect carpets during wet mopping.
The floor cleaning function uses 12 jets of 60°C hot water. The roller is cleaned as it rotates, so only clean water is always delivered to the surface. The system also prevents cross-contamination between hard surfaces and carpets.
The battery provides up to 200 minutes of operation — this is enough to roughly clean an area of up to 240 m² in one cycle, depending on conditions. The robot is controlled via a mobile app, supports fast mapping, smart room division, cleaning zones, virtual bans and challenging area checks. Dyson also emphasizes that all AI calculations are performed locally — without uploading images to the cloud or saving them.
