Artemis combines a telescoping arm with grippers rated for up to one kilogram. Users can ask the robot to fetch keys or remotes, and a foundation model-powered perception stack identifies objects through few-shot training.

The robot shares a docking station with a laundry-folding module introduced earlier this year. Ecovacs trained Artemis on synthetic clutter scenes, reducing mis-grasps compared with its previous prototypes.

Early adopters in Singapore report that the robot integrates with smart home hubs, letting it coordinate with lighting and blinds for daily routines. Ecovacs plans a U.S. launch in mid-2026 pending FCC approvals.
