Roborock expands the Q Series with the launch of the Q7T+, Q10V+ and Q7B robot vacuums, bringing premium features to more Australian homes.

SYDNEY, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock, a global leader in ultra-intelligent home robotics, continues to redefine expectations for entry-range robot vacuums with the Australian launch of the Q10V+, Q7T+ and Q7B. These powerful additions to the Q Series deliver robust performance and premium features at a more accessible price point – giving Australian households an effortless path to cleaner living.

“At Roborock, our mission has always been to make smart cleaning solutions more accessible, and that means delivering meaningful innovation at every level,” said Richard Chang, Founder & CEO of Roborock. “With these latest additions to the Q Series, we’re proud to bring flagship-level performance and intelligent design to more Australian households at a price that doesn’t compromise on quality. Through in-depth customer research, we know convenience is key – many people simply want to set their vacuum and forget it. These new models are built for exactly that: reliable, hands-free cleaning that fits seamlessly into everyday life.”

Whether it’s battling pet hair, daily dust, or hard-to-reach corners, the Q10V+, Q7T+ and Q7B are built to handle it all – giving Australians more time to focus on what matters most.

Roborock Q10V+ – High Performance Meets Hands-Free Convenience

The Q10V+ brings flagship-level performance to a broader audience, delivering a powerful 10,000Pa of HyperForce® suction – capable of extracting dirt and debris from even the thickest carpets and hard-to-reach corners. This cleaning power is matched by Roborock’s Dual Anti-Tangle System, which combines the DuoDivide® main brush and FlexiArm Arc side brush to actively prevent hair wrap and reduce brush maintenance.

Smart navigation is enabled by Reactive Tech Obstacle Avoidance, allowing the Q10V+ to glide effortlessly around everyday household items without getting stuck. The device also features Roborock’s advanced VibraRise® 2.0 sonic mopping system, a technology previously only available in Roborock’s flagship S-Series lineup, which scrubs floors at up to 3,000 times per minute and automatically lifts when carpet is detected – ensuring a truly hygienic, mess-free clean.

To complete the hands-free experience, the Q10V+ comes with Roborock’s RockDock® Plus self-emptying dock that stores dust for up to 7 weeks, minimising the need for manual intervention and making this model ideal for those seeking a powerful, all-in-one floor care solution.

Roborock Q7T+ – Smart Cleaning Power at an Accessible Price

From daily dust to stubborn dirt, the Q7T+ is engineered to handle everyday messes with ease, all at an entry-range price point that doesn’t compromise on performance. Delivering a robust 10,000Pa of HyperForce® suction, the Q7T+ offers a deep, efficient cleaning across all floor types from hardwood to carpet. It shares the same innovative Dual Anti-Tangle System found in the Q10V+, delivering both tangle-free maintenance and a deeper, more hygienic clean—making it a perfect choice for pet owners and busy families alike.

Powered by Roborock’s advanced PreciSense® LiDAR Navigation, the Q7T+ maps your home with pinpoint accuracy to ensure efficient, methodical cleaning every time. With the Flexible App Control via the Roborock app, users can easily set custom routines, adjust suction levels, and even zone-clean specific areas—all from their smartphone.

Compatible with Roborock’s Auto-Empty RockDock® Plus, the Q7T+ offers a truly hands-free cleaning experience, helping busy households maintain clean floors with minimal effort.

Roborock Q7B — Essential Performance, Everyday Value

Completing the refreshed Q Series lineup is the Roborock Q7B, offering a solid balance of power and simplicity for users seeking reliable cleaning at an affordable price point.

This advanced system vacuums and mops simultaneously, capturing fine dust that vacuuming alone might miss. With three adjustable water flow levels, you can customize the cleaning intensity to suit your needs.

With 8,000 Pa HyperForce® suction for everyday messes, it features the same innovative features found in Roborock’s premium models, including Roborock’s trusted Dual Anti-Tangle System to minimise hair wrap, and Roborock’s advanced PreciSense® LiDAR Navigation.

With dependable performance across all floor types, the Q7B is ideal for first-time robot vacuum owners or those looking to upgrade to a smarter clean on a budget.

BlueNexus Technologies Unveils AquaX Hub at SIWW 2026 — AI Autonomous Operations Extended to Legacy Water Assets

Published

1 hour ago

June 21, 2026

SINGAPORE, June 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2026, BlueNexus Technologies unveiled the global debut of AquaX Hub™ — a compact plug-and-play edge device that brings full AI-powered autonomous operation to standalone water equipment and legacy treatment plants. The launch drew sustained engagement from utilities, industrial operators and engineering firms.

The water sector confronts converging pressures: aging infrastructure, a critical shortage of skilled technicians, and relentless operational cost escalation. AquaX Hub™ answers these directly — extending the AI autonomous operation already proven plant-wide by AquaX Robot™ to a single asset, and delivering comparable monitoring and operational management without a control-system overhaul.

“The industry cannot hire its way out of this problem,” said Jack Zhang, CEO of BlueNexus Technologies. “AI autonomous operation is no longer a future concept — the barrier to entry is gone.”

The AquaX Ecosystem

BlueNexus has built the industry’s first fully integrated AI autonomous water operation platform, spanning three complementary pillars:

AquaX Robot™ is the flagship plant-wide AI agent, built on large language models with proprietary vision, acoustic and infrared multimodal sensing. It optimizes treatment processes 24/7 and predicts equipment failures. Live deployments show up to 90% reduction in on-site staffing, a 50% drop in equipment breakdowns, and approximately 35% lower O&M costs.

AquaX Hub™, making its global debut at SIWW 2026, is a lightweight edge terminal extending that capability to any water system. With an independent local processing module, it monitors and inspects equipment through multimodal sensing and runs a self-contained processing loop. The device integrates seamlessly with existing SCADA, cloud and enterprise platforms via standardized APIs.

i-WaterHub™, the company’s standardized modular treatment plant, operated autonomously by AquaX Robot, delivers 2,500 to 40,000 m³/day for municipal and industrial applications.

Market Momentum

SIWW 2026 convened nearly 500 exhibitors from over 65 countries. BlueNexus has identified priority markets for AquaX Hub™ in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. “The conversations this week have already translated into concrete business opportunities and we expect rapid deployment in the coming months.” Zhang confirmed.

About BlueNexus Technologies

BlueNexus Technologies is a Singapore-based water-technology company building intelligent, AI-operated systems for the world’s most water-intensive industries. We design and deliver modular water treatment infrastructure that is smarter to run, faster to deploy, and built to operate autonomously.

Pope Leo XIV embraces paediatric patients at CNAO in Pavia

Published

12 hours ago

June 20, 2026

PAVIA, Italy, June 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) served as the first stop today during Pope Leo XIV’s pastoral visit to the city of Pavia. His choice to begin his journey at this center reflects a profound commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue between advanced scientific progress and the alleviation of human suffering.

CNAO President Gianluca Vago and General Manager Sandro Rossi received His Holiness, illustrating the center’s distinctive capabilities. CNAO stands out as a unique reality in Italy, remaining one of the very few facilities worldwide capable of delivering hadrontherapy using both protons and carbon ions. The technological core of the facility is its synchrotron, a subatomic particle accelerator that generates ultra-high-precision beams to treat complex, inoperable and radioresistant tumours. This cutting-edge technology allows for the targeted eradication of diseased cells while meticulously preserving surrounding healthy tissues, drastically improving patients’ survival and quality of life.

Furthermore, CNAO is expanding its capabilities as a premier multi-center utilizing new ion species, like Helium, later Oxygen and Neon. Soon, treatments will incorporate the Leo Cancer Care upright positioning and imaging system. The immediate future also includes beginning therapies with a Hitachi dedicated proton accelerator and gantry and a BNCT system for metastatic diseases, equipped with an electrostatic accelerator produced by TAE Life Science. With these new technologies, CNAO will become one of the most technologically advanced center in the world.

To date, over six thousand individuals, including approximately three hundred children and adolescents, have benefited from these life-saving treatments.

During his visit, the Pope engaged with CNAO’s Board of Directors, a collaborative body uniting national universities, clinical institutions, and research centers. He also extended his heartfelt greetings to the two hundred employees of the center. These doctors, physicists, engineers, and researchers tirelessly operate the advanced technologies in the service of oncology patients.

The emotional pinnacle of the day was the Holy Father’s private gathering with a delegation of young children who underwent treatment. The paediatric patients and their families shared a deeply touching moment of closeness, receiving the Pope’s comforting embrace.

“The visit of Pope Leo XIV honours us and represents a moment of extraordinary human value”, stated CNAO President Gianluca Vago. “In his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, the Holy Father emphasizes the necessity of a science that constantly safeguards the centrality of the person and directs technology toward the common good. In a time marked by global tensions, CNAO testifies daily how the incredible power of the atom can be used not to destroy, but to heal. The particle beams we utilize against disease are, symbolically, Rays of Hope, sharing and supporting the IAEA project bearing this name. The embrace the Holy Father reserved for our children reminds us that scientific research finds its most authentic purpose when it encounters listening, compassion, and hope”.
