At CES 2026, xLean Robotics unveiled the xLean TR1, a groundbreaking dual-form robot vacuum designed to seamlessly transition between autonomous cleaning and handheld spot cleaning. This innovative device aims to address the diverse cleaning needs of modern households by combining the convenience of a robot vacuum with the precision of a manual cleaner.
Dual-Form Design for Versatile Cleaning
The xLean TR1 features a unique design that allows it to switch between robot and handheld modes in just one second. In robot mode, it autonomously navigates and cleans floors, while in handheld mode, it offers users the flexibility to tackle spills and concentrated messes with ease. This dual functionality eliminates the need for separate cleaning devices, providing a comprehensive solution for various cleaning scenarios. (xlean.ai)
Advanced Cleaning Technology
Equipped with xLean's Dual-Motor DirectSuction™ system, the TR1 delivers up to 17,000 Pa of suction power. This robust system achieves a 99.99% pickup rate for liquid waste and mixed solid–liquid debris, including sticky residues. In demonstrations, the TR1 effectively cleaned a mixture of cat litter and cola in approximately 15 seconds, showcasing its efficiency in handling complex messes. (prnewswire.com)
Self-Evolving Intelligence for Adaptive Cleaning
A standout feature of the xLean TR1 is its Self-Evolving Intelligence system, powered by Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). In handheld mode, the robot observes user cleaning behaviors—such as focus duration, cleaning intensity, and completion cues—and applies this knowledge during autonomous cleaning. This adaptive learning enables the TR1 to adjust its cleaning strategies in real time, offering personalized and efficient cleaning tailored to individual habits. (xlean.ai)
Adaptive Cleaning Strategies
The TR1 employs adaptive cleaning strategies that adjust cleaning intensity based on detected dirt levels. Heavier messes trigger deeper cleaning passes, while lighter debris results in faster, lighter cleaning. This approach enhances cleaning efficiency by approximately 50% compared to traditional programmed robots, ensuring thorough cleaning while conserving time and energy. (xlean.ai)
Innovative Waste Management with OMNI Station
Supporting the TR1 is the OMNI Station, designed to minimize user maintenance. The station features solid-liquid waste separation, a full-path hot-water flush using temperatures up to 60°C, and automatic drying for both the robot and the station after each cleaning cycle. This system ensures hygienic cleaning and reduces the need for manual intervention, enhancing the overall user experience. (xlean.ai)
Availability and Future Prospects
As of now, the xLean TR1 is not yet available for purchase. The company has announced plans for a global Kickstarter launch, offering early supporters a 41% discount. Prospective buyers can sign up on xLean's official website to receive updates and secure their discount. (xlean.ai)
