Eufy introduced the Marswalker, a tracked platform that can autonomously carry compatible robot vacuums up and down stairs without human help. The shell works with Eufy's Omni S2 vacuum, which features an aromatherapy system and advanced navigation. While the Marswalker does not clean staircases itself, it provides a solution for multilevel homes by transporting the vacuum between floors, recognizing various stair configurations and returning to its dock for charging and emptying. The innovation could reshape the robot‑vacuum market, offering a first‑of‑its‑kind stair‑climbing capability.
What Is the Marswalker?
Eufy presented a new accessory called the Marswalker, a rugged, tracked platform designed to move robot vacuums across stairways. The device resembles a small rover with four independently controlled arms that grip each step as it climbs. It can recognize straight, L‑shaped and U‑shaped stairs, building a three‑dimensional map of the home to navigate autonomously. The Marswalker does not clean the stairs themselves; instead, it transports a compatible vacuum to a different floor and returns to its dock for charging and emptying.
