In the first three quarters of 2025, Roborock's R&D investment soared to 1.028 billion yuan, marking a significant year-on-year increase of 60.56%. This investment accounted for 8.52% of the company's total expenses, reflecting its strong commitment to innovation. The majority of these funds were allocated to the establishment of three major research institute systems, reinforcing Roborock's focus on cutting-edge technological development.

Since 2026, Roborock has secured a cumulative total of 122 patent authorizations, representing a notable year-on-year increase of 54.43%. These patents span a wide range of technological fields, underscoring the company's diverse and comprehensive approach to innovation.

In 2025, Roborock emerged as a dominant player in the global high-end cleaning robot market, capturing over 28% of the market share. Its products also led sales in the North American high-end market for three consecutive quarters, a testament to their popularity and quality.

Roborock's technological investments have been effectively translated into tangible product features that address user pain points. Notable innovations include the AI wheel-leg system and Reactive AI obstacle avoidance algorithms, which enhance the performance and user experience of its cleaning robots.

Through its strategic patent layout (retained for precision, though "patent strategy" or "patent deployment" could also be appropriate translations), Roborock has built formidable technological barriers. Its "AI + electromechanical" technology, deeply coupled and integrated, presents a significant challenge for competitors to replicate in the short term, solidifying Roborock's position as an industry leader.
