Beatbot is making a splash at CES 2026, where it unveiled the world’s first self-emptying pool cleaner and a self-cleaning dock. Part of the Beatbot AquaSense ecosystem, the Beatbot AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner and the Beatbot AstroRinse Cleaning Station come as a godsend accessory to those who own a pool and wish for hands-off cleaning.
While robot pool cleaners offer significant assistance in removing dirt, rocks, leaves, bugs, and other debris, they still lack a self-emptying feature or a self-cleaning dock. You are still required to rinse the filter and hose it down after emptying the slimy, soggy debris basket every so often. But not with Beabot’s latest offerings that take care of everything seamlessly.
Beatbot AquaSense X is a two-part system. The AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner uses cameras along with infrared and ultrasonic sensing to navigate, identify, and clean debris from your pool. It can identify steps, edges, and shallow platforms. Equipped with voice control, the pool cleaner is compatible with Google Home, Alexa, and Siri. You can command it to start a clean, check the battery, or even get voice alerts at the end of a cleaning task.
According to the brand, the Beatbot AquaSense X robot is “powered by Beatbot AI 2.0 and the latest HybridSense™ AI Vision system, which doubles the number of debris types recognized from 20 to 40 and expands detection coverage from the pool floor to both the floor and the water surface.”
The second part of the Beatbot AquaSense X ecosystem is the Beatbot AstroRinse Cleaning Station. This is an automatic filter-cleaning system, which unfortunately doesn’t have self-docking, so you need to put the robotic pool cleaner in the dock, then the system cleans debris from the robot.
The docking station activates a high-pressure rotating backflush to clean the filter and direct debris straight into a sealed waste bin. It takes only three minutes to clean the filter and make it ready for another round. The AstroRinse has a 22-liter capacity, which, according to the brand, can hold up to two full cleaning cycles per week for at least two months before you’ll need to remove and replace the disposable bag. It even charges the bot to ready it for another cleaning cycle.
This comes as a shift in home automation wherein homeowners want a pool cleaner to be more self-reliant and work consistently with less supervision. Combined, the Beatbot AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner and the Beatbot AstroRinse Cleaning Station provide a largely self-managing pool cleaning system. It handles cleaning, navigation, filtration, and post-cleaning upkeep, all designed to work as part of the same loop.
