MAMMOTION's New Robot Ends the Last Chore of Pool Cleaning

LAS VEGAS, NV – January 06, 2026 – At CES 2026, a show defined by forward-looking technology, outdoor robotics firm MAMMOTION has unveiled a product that tackles one of the most persistent chores of homeownership: pool maintenance. The new SPINO S1 Pro, already distinguished as a CES Innovation Awards honoree in the Smart Home category, isn't just another robotic cleaner. It's an ambitious system designed to eliminate the final, and often most cumbersome, manual step in automated pool care: retrieving the robot from the water.

For years, robotic pool cleaners have promised convenience, automating the tedious task of scrubbing floors and walls. Yet, the cycle almost always ends with the owner needing to fish a heavy, water-logged device out of the pool to clean its filter and plug it in for a recharge. MAMMOTION aims to make that process a memory with its patented AutoShoreCharge™ system—a robotic-arm–assisted on-deck dock that automatically finds, lifts, and charges the SPINO S1 Pro, creating what the company calls a “truly hands-free” experience.

A New Era of Autonomous Pool Care

The core innovation of the SPINO S1 Pro is its ability to manage the entire cleaning process without any human intervention. Once its schedule is set, the robot autonomously cleans the pool, navigates back to its dock, and initiates a sequence that feels more like science fiction than home maintenance. Using a super-stable underwater communication link to its base station, the device guides itself to the edge of the pool where the AutoShoreCharge™ dock awaits.

This is where the magic happens. A robotic arm extends from the on-deck station, precisely lifting the cleaner out of the water and positioning it onto its charging contacts. This seamless water-to-land transition solves a major pain point for pool owners, especially those who struggle with the weight and awkwardness of retrieving conventional models. The process transforms a recurring manual chore into an automated, self-sufficient cycle.

Underpinning this physical autonomy is a robust technological foundation designed to prevent the common failures that plague other cordless cleaners. Many models on the market suffer from dropped signals underwater, leading to stalled motors and frustrating “rescue missions” where the owner has to manually retrieve a dead robot from the pool floor. The SPINO S1 Pro addresses this with an ultra-stable communication link that maintains a flawless connection within a 33-foot radius of the dock. This ensures the robot not only completes its cleaning tasks but can always find its way home to recharge, delivering on the promise of uninterrupted autonomy.

“SPINO S1 Pro reflects our belief that true autonomy should feel invisible,” said Jayden Wei, CEO of MAMMOTION, in a statement. “It sees the environment, understands what needs attention, and completes the job on its own, right down to returning and preparing for the next cycle. That kind of intelligence doesn't just clean better; it changes the relationship homeowners have with their pools.”

Disrupting a Crowded Market

The robotic pool cleaner market is a competitive space, with established brands like Maytronics (Dolphin), Polaris, and Hayward, alongside innovative challengers such as Aiper and Beatbot. These companies have made significant strides in cleaning efficiency, smart navigation, and cordless operation. However, the SPINO S1 Pro’s focus on complete cycle automation—from cleaning to self-retrieval and charging—positions it as a potential disruptor.

While some high-end competitors offer “easy lift” systems that bring the robot to the waterline, they still require the owner to be present to pull the device out. MAMMOTION's robotic arm is a fundamental leap beyond that, removing the human from the equation entirely. This distinction could set a new benchmark for what consumers expect from a premium pool robot.

Beyond its groundbreaking docking system, the SPINO S1 Pro is packed with advanced cleaning technology. Its “ZonePilot™ AI vision system” uses an integrated camera, IMU, Time-of-Flight (ToF), and pressure sensors to create a 360-degree understanding of its environment. This allows it to intelligently map the pool, identify dirt, and navigate complex shapes, steps, and obstacles in real-time. Furthermore, its “Adaptive Dirt Response” feature enables the robot to dynamically increase suction power when it detects areas with higher concentrations of debris, ensuring a more efficient and targeted clean.

From Lawns to Pools: A Vision for Outdoor Robotics

The SPINO S1 Pro is not a standalone marvel but the latest chapter in MAMMOTION's broader strategy to create a fully autonomous outdoor ecosystem. The company has already built a formidable reputation in lawn care, earning TIME's Best Inventions awards in 2024 and 2025 for its LUBA and YUKA series of robotic lawnmowers.

Those products were celebrated for solving a key pain point in their category: the need for buried perimeter wires. By using a combination of RTK, LiDAR, and AI vision for precise navigation, MAMMOTION's mowers offered a more flexible and truly autonomous mowing experience. The company is now applying that same problem-solving DNA to the pool industry. Just as it eliminated perimeter wires for lawns, it is now eliminating manual retrieval for pools.

This strategic expansion demonstrates a clear vision of transferring core competencies in advanced navigation, robust robotics, and user-centric automation across different outdoor maintenance tasks. The engineering philosophy that allows a LUBA mower to handle a 45-degree slope or precisely trim an edge without a wire is the same one that enables the SPINO S1 Pro to navigate underwater with perfect connectivity and dock itself with mechanical precision. This consistency is building a brand synonymous with cutting-edge, hands-off solutions for the entire yard.

The Price of True Convenience

With its unveiling at CES, the MAMMOTION SPINO S1 Pro is slated for a market launch later in the first quarter of 2026. While the company has not yet announced official pricing, the sophisticated mechanics of the robotic arm and the advanced AI and communication technologies suggest it will be positioned as a premium product.

The cost will likely reflect its status as more than just a cleaner, but as a complete, self-sustaining system. For homeowners who have invested in smart home technology to reclaim their time, the proposition is compelling. It aims to deliver on the ultimate promise of automation: not just to assist with a chore, but to make it disappear entirely.

As the SPINO S1 Pro prepares to enter the market, it represents a significant step toward a future where maintaining a home's exterior is as automated as its interior. For homeowners willing to invest in this level of convenience, the era of truly hands-off pool maintenance may have finally arrived.
