What it is

Vendor

Ecovacs / 科沃斯 · based in CN

Status

Shipping: Generally purchasable and being delivered.

Confidence

Unconfirmed Not established by any source we found, vendor or otherwise.

Can I get it where I am?

What the vendor says about the worldwide rollout

"仅限中国大陆地区销售及使用（港澳台除外）" -- translated: "For sale and use in mainland China only (Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan excluded)."

All tracked regions

“Not announced” means the vendor had said nothing about that region when it was last checked, on the date shown; “Not offered” means the vendor has said no. An EU-wide offer counts for Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany unless the vendor says otherwise for one of them. Prices are recorded in the currency the vendor published and are never converted in the data.

May it legally be sold there?

This is a different question from whether the vendor offers it, and the two come apart: a vendor can hold open pre-orders for a robot that has no current path to being lawfully imported. The site records them separately and never merges them.

Unknown for every tracked region. No regulatory position has been established for this robot in any of them.

What it can do

Listed under Laundry, Tidying up, Fetching and carrying, derived from the claims below.

Capability claims in the vendor’s own words, never rewritten into categories. What matters most is the label beside each one: shipped means sold and verified working, demonstrated means shown in a controlled demo, and claimed means asserted and not shown.

• Tidies a desktop, organizing loose items. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 6. Korben

• Puts toys away into storage. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 6. Korben

• Organizes shoes, lining them up in a hallway. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 6. Korben

• Fetches and hands over a requested object. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 6. Korben

• Starts and operates a washing machine. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 6. Korben

• Ships as an open-source robot development platform with 45 composable "atomic capabilities" (原子能力) and supports "zero-code" (零代码) replication of demonstrated scenarios for new tasks. Claimed Asserted by the vendor. Not shown.

How it works

Within a task

Adapts within a task

The robot perceives what is actually in front of it and adjusts. If a sock slips mid-fold, it is meant to recover. This is what the AI-autonomy criterion tests.

How a task starts

Being shown the task

Descriptive only. A button, a spoken sentence and a schedule are different interfaces, not different degrees of intelligence.

Will it try something new?

Vendor-curated set

The vendor chooses which tasks are available and adds to them over time.

Vendor markets Bajie as a fully open developer stack built around 45 named atomic capabilities that can be composed or extended via zero-code demonstration replication, rather than as an open-ended natural-language interface for end consumers. The vendor has not said how a home user, as opposed to a developer, issues tasks.

Human operator

None described

Nothing we found describes a remote human operator completing tasks for this robot. Note that the dataset records this as a plain yes or no, so “no” here means “not described”, not “established to be absent”.

Why it qualifies

A robot is listed only if it meets all four criteria. The evidence is kept so the criteria can be re-tuned against real cases rather than re-argued. How these are applied.

• Multi-task by design

  Met

  Performs two or more distinct household task types. Not a single-purpose appliance, and not one task described several ways.

  Vendor names five distinct chore categories: desktop tidying, toy storage, shoe organising, fetch/hand objects, and washing-machine operation.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 2. Ecovacs

• Physical manipulation

  Met

  Has arms, grippers or manipulators, and can pick up, move or handle objects.

  OpenClaw arm, vendor-specced 800mm span / 1kg payload, RGBD+ToF sensing.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs

• AI-driven autonomy

  Met

  Copes with unscripted variation within a task: it perceives what is actually there and adapts, rather than replaying a fixed motion sequence. How a task is started is not part of this test.

  Vendor describes an integrated open-source AI agent ("集成开源AI智能体， 从底层能力到上层应用全栈可编程") across 45 composable "atomic capabilities," with "zero-code rapid replication" (零代码快速复刻) of demonstrated scenarios -- a demonstration-based learned-skill architecture, not fixed programming. The vendor has not published a statement that the robot takes open natural-language instructions.

  Evidence: 1. Ecovacs, 5. CSDN

• Credible home path

  Met

  Targets domestic use, and has a public price, preorder or announced release window. Pure research demos are excluded.

  On sale in mainland China since 2026-06-18. The price is reported inconsistently: press gives an official price of CNY 49,990, while the vendor's own store page lists the product at CNY 20. The sale itself is not in question.
