MOVA Demos Flying Robot Vacuum at CES, And It’s More Than a Gimmick

We’ve seen brands pull all sorts of shenanigans at CES 2026. Some are exhibiting half-baked humanoids, while others are unveiling robovacs that can climb stairs. However, the biggest news so far is that smart home brand MOVA is showing off a flying robot vacuum cleaner at CES 2026.

Vacuum Wars appears to have been the first to spot it, and they’ve also shared a video about it on their X profile (formerly Twitter). While MOVA hasn’t released any official details on its website, the brand posted a reel on its Instagram, showcasing Pilot 70, which it touts as a Space-Flying Module. Based on the visuals, it appears as a hybrid between a drone and a robot vacuum.

MOVA hasn’t spilled specific details about the functionality, nor has it referred to it as a “flying robot vacuum” yet. Still, Reddit is flooded with similar rumors, where some users claim the “module” integrates a drone system with a vacuum transport dock, powered by a flight control and sensor-fusion system, and equipped with six layers of active safety protection.

Based on the pictures and sufficient video evidence available, it’s safe to presume that MOVA is going off the rails here. The goal seems to be to safely and precisely transport robot vacuums to hard-to-reach areas like upper floors and balconies, places that are traditionally difficult for these devices to service.

Pandaily, another media outlet reports that MOVA will showcase its “water, land, and air” home robots at CES 2026, including the “Pilot70” module that enables vacuum cleaners to fly between floors in multi-story homes.

Let’s get to the tale of the tape now. Is it politically correct to refer to it as the flying robotic vacuum? Well, if we can term robovacs with an external unit to be stair-climbing robots, we sure as hell can refer to this one as a flying robot vacuum. We tried reaching out to MOVA for comments, but the brand seems to be too secretive about the whole thing as of now.
