Cleaning can be a grind, especially when you’re managing stairs or multi-level spaces. Mova, which already sells a range of robotic helpers in the Czech market, brought a striking new solution to CES: the Pilot 70, a flying module designed to lift and move robotic vacuums to upper floors and hard-to-reach rooms.
Hardware built for stability and payload
Mova calls the Pilot 70 a milestone in robotic mobility and intelligent cleaning. The unit uses a four-axis propulsion system with four rotors engineered to deliver maximum lift and steady flight.
The design pairs relatively low-drag propellers with adaptive damping technology that cuts vibration during takeoff and landing down to 2 mm². That stability is crucial for moving a vacuum without jostling it or the surrounding environment.
Sensors and flight precision
For obstacle avoidance, the Pilot 70 relies on integrated six-degree-of-freedom sensors. Mova says the system achieves flight accuracy of ±1.97″², enabling precise, collision-free operation even on complex staircases.
While the drone itself does not perform cleaning, the ability to automatically carry robotic vacuums between floors could be useful in scenarios where stairs or restricted access prevent wheeled robots from reaching certain areas.
Who might want one
The Pilot 70 may sound niche, but Mova positions it as especially relevant for commercial cleaning and public buildings. In those environments, automating the transport of cleaning robots could reduce labor costs over time and improve overall efficiency.
Mova has not announced pricing or availability yet. The company has shown products in the Czech market before, and it seems likely the Pilot 70 will appear there as well once details are finalized.
