Great work. Happy to test it in the UK. I have two robots, one each floor but stairs are always a manual job!
You can check the details on Kickstarter, and the link is in the video description below.
My ragdoll cat and I are both excited for this vacuum to launch. One of my current robot vacuums (joys of a 3-story townhouse) ran into her once while she was napping. It didn’t notice her as an “object,” and she was only mildly annoyed. But having something that can also mop and get her hair off the stairs sounds like a dream come true. I can’t wait for it to be available to order.
Thank you for your interest! Ascender will soon be launching on Kickstarter. Please check our landing page (link in the video description) for more information about Ascender.
Do you have a video showing it climbing a full tight spiral stairs? I have one of these and the ability to navigate that will be a make or break for me ( the type in the video where you showcase the missing step)
I'd happily beta test this in the UK, I've got a 2 story cottage which is spread over multiple levels and with various surfaces
You guys looking for beta testers? I have everything needed to really put this thing to the test.
You mean you have some stairs?!?
Hope it will come to Norway too, very interesting. I have 2 floors house and 1 roborock each floor, but i am not happy with my robots work.
Absolutely! We ship Ascender to Norway and are diligently collaborating with our local distributor to improve the logistics network and after-sales service.
I love to beta test this device here in Texas. I would like to see if humidity affects the device in any way. Also, I would like to see how toddlers and pets behave around the device. Are you offering any beta tester positions?
Don't worry, I have a staircase in my house too. 😅

But how to get back downstairs stari
This looks promising. Just curious from a consumer pov, are you associated w/ Xiaomi? Thinking of customer service, troubleshooting, replacement parts, and app functionality. Xiaomi has a big eco system and that’s why I ask
We've held several discussions with Xiaomi and Shunwei (the venture capital firm behind Xiaomi) regarding our angel round fundraising. While they chose not to invest at this stage, we are optimistic that a successful crowdfunding campaign will demonstrate our potential, encouraging them to reconsider. This could pave the way for a mutually beneficial partnership in the future.
Very nice ! What is the minimal stair depth supported in cm ?
the minimal depth allows Asscender to work/climb is 16cm.
My stairs, have a 1 inch rounded lip. How big of a lip can it handle?
Ascender expertly navigates the nosing part (the small lip you mentioned) with precision. For nosing less than 2cm, Ascender operates in its standard mode. Should the nosing exceed 2cm, the front ToF sensor triggers a warning signal, prompting the machine to readjust its positioning for the climbing process.
@@MigoRobotics I measured the lip of my stairs. Looks like the rounded lip actually extends to 1.5", or 3.8cm. It would be great to get a video of how the climbing process looks with the ToF sensor getting triggered and having to readustment at every step. Not really worried about the speed. Just hoping this thing "can" successfully clean my hardwood stairs.
I have tbe ULTIMATE test for this robot, a lot of carpeted stairs with multiple landings
Plus i already have a youtube channel for product reviews 😊

Already did the survey and signed up for more info. I have a sunk in living room and second story if you are looking for beta testers. Thanks!
Do you have a screenshot of the lifetime accessories promise? I can't find it in writing anywhere anymore.
Can this climb and clean carpeted stairs?
Yes, Ascender excels on carpeted stairs, specifically designed with markets like North America and Europe in mind, where carpeting is prevalent in homes. Keep an eye out-our marketing team is gearing up to release more videos showcasing Ascender in carpeted settings.
I recently bought a terraced house that is approximately 125 years old. The house has 3 floors and the stairs are narrow, not very deep and have tight curves. I would like to know if the robot can also climb these stairs. He wouldn't even have to clean the steps. I would be happy if he changed floors independently to clean the house. If you are looking for a tester for this special challenge, I would be happy to help you. 3:01
Hi, Thank you for your interests! You can be confident that it expertly navigates stairs of all heights, widths, and designs. Just keep in mind two important requirements: the stairs must be no taller than 8.7 inches (22 cm) and the minimum width for circular/spiral stairs on their widest side should be at least 5.9 inches (15 cm).
A simple rule of thumb: If an adult can comfortably step on the stairs, Ascender should be able to handle them with ease, both ascending and descending.
Can you provide the technical data of this robot and battery life, what kind of warranty does it have and where can I buy accessories?
You can visit the pre-sale link in our video description for detailed specifications and after-sales information.
If you could make it possible to use regular ph balanced cleaning solution in ascender it would be perfection
While we continue with the durability testing of our water/detergent pump and pipes, we have a flexible policy for our customers. You are free to use cleaning solutions from any renowned brands of your choice, ensuring both convenience and quality in your cleaning experience.
How does it go down the stairs?
Ascender can clean multiple floors by climbing stairs up or down. Going down the stairs is simply the reverse process of going up. You can check the video at 3:35. Thank you!
Can it climb carpeted stairs?
Indeed, Ascender is specifically designed for homes with extensive carpeting. Keep an eye out for our new test video featuring carpeted stairs, coming soon.
I see a lot of problems here, first the robot sides are wide which means it can't cleanup to the end of the stair edge, second the robot won't be able to climb short depth stairs. The brush seems too short and that small mopping cloth is also too small. In conclusion buying two robots is a better option for two floors.
Ascender can clean the sides of the stairs as well. Even though the legs on both sides of our machine are 4.5cm (1.77 inches) wide, the side brush rotation effectively removes dust underneath the legs. While it may not cover every inch of the stair surfaces, the actual cleaning results are still reassuring.
@@MigoRobotics Here’s my feedback and suggestions, use one arm to climb, reduce the size of the robot by %30, switch to solid state batteries for shorter recharging, increase the suction power by 2x, reposition the lidar from top to left front and let the robot see by rotating, mopping cloth should be larger and can lift by 20mm, dust bin can be made smaller with larger dustbin in station. Use double rollers, and choose a suction motor with low noise level. Good luck.
Will it Clean vertical part pf the stairs too?
Unfortunately No.
@@MigoRobotics thanks for the reply. So when can we buy it? I am from India
thank you for your interest! ☺️ Our campaign will launch soon on Kickstarter and more information will be announced to our subscribers. Please stay tuned!
I hav stairs in my house and the are curved in a u shape, this robot is the dream that comes true, but can it climb curved stairs? Like my stairs are very curved and it would be sad if its not able to climb those stairs
If it can climb it, ill order it as soon as possible, i hope u send to Netherlands!
Hi there, Spiral stairs + Narrow space + Open/No riser is the most challenging use case for Ascender. First, if you have a 40cm x 15cm space on the stair, then Ascender can climb up/down without issues, regardless if it is a normal or spiral staircase. Previously we occasionally saw failure when the stair was open or without riser, as Ascender couldn't see the next step. This issue is largely resolved after we integrate the front ToF sensor's data into the motion controller. Currently, our AI/Vision team is developing a lite model to further improve the detection accuracy and reliability (you can think of it as a dual fail-safe). Rest assured, delivering a machine that fails to climb stairs, when its key innovation is precisely 'stair climbing,' is simply not an option for us.😎
Just checked with the marketing team, we will have a new video released tonight with curved stairs. Stay tuned.
Where's my comment?
What if my cat sits on the vacuum while it is climing the stairs
The peak torque of the robot's joints is 4N.M, so Ascender can't lift a fat cat :) You will probably receive a warning on you phone "Unable to initiate stair climbing, please check!"
When you Looks for Beta testers in Germany... Here we are
Yeah me too 🤣🤣🤣
The "going down" the stairs section @3:45 seems like it's just the "going up the stairs" played in reverse, they switched the angle to make it look different, not cool
"Going down" is exactly the REVERSE procedure of "Going up" in our control algorithms.
@@MigoRobotics it makes sense, and i'm not doubting the feautre i'm just waiting to see an unedited video version of the robot executing it
Got it. We will release more videos soon (like no-cuts video). Stay tuned!
Why would it not look the same but in reverse???
@@Bmr4life Device pulling itself up is not exactly the same as bracing itself before you bring on the weight of they unit from the upper step. If you don't get the height right, you might endup tumbling down the stairs! The sensors are also a lot closer to the lip of the upper step, making them easier to find than finding the floor of the step your are trying going down to. (many steps have different heights) But the main point here is, why a recording wasn't done showing the process and instead had to be edited to reverse and change the angle of the first video. @Guerneena, great eye!!
Why is this man in the picture all the time? I want to see the hoover and not the person. Or is it important for the person to be seen?
Show real videos climbing stairs, not 3d animations.
I am a bit surprised becuase ... all the clips in this video are recorded not CGI. If you spend a bit more time watching the video you can see the machine actually shaked slightly a few times.
Get your eyes checked
