Aiper is diving deep into artificial intelligence with two CES 2026 Innovation Award winners that could make pool maintenance as hands-off as ordering takeout. The smart robotic pool cleaner brand unveiled its most advanced lineup yet, featuring cognitive AI technology that thinks before it cleans and solar-powered systems that work around the clock.
Cognitive Cleaning Gets Real with Scuba V3 Ultra
The star of Aiper’s showcase is the Scuba V3 Ultra, which the company calls the world’s first cognitive, AI-powered, 6-in-1 robotic pool cleaner. Unlike traditional pool robots that follow predetermined patterns like aquatic Roombas, this device actually analyzes conditions before deciding how to clean.
The Scuba V3 Ultra’s Cognitive AI Navium Mode combines real-time vision, ultrasonic sensors, local weather data, and debris detection to make intelligent cleaning decisions. When storms approach, the system automatically prioritizes surface cleaning to capture up to 99% of debris before it has a chance to sink. The robot dynamically adjusts its cleaning paths, suction power, and priorities based on actual pool conditions rather than blindly following a schedule.
Aiper packed impressive hardware into this cordless cleaner, including the JellyFloat Energy-Smart Lift Engine that enables cleaning in shallow areas down to 20 cm, and BioClaw surface capture technology that actively guides floating debris into the collection chamber. With 8,500 GPH suction power and dual-layer filtration down to three microns, the device delivers thorough cleaning while reducing power consumption by up to 40%.
Solar-Powered Skimming Meets Water Chemistry
The second Innovation Award winner, the EcoSurfer Senti, tackles pool care from a different angle. This AI-powered pool skimmer operates entirely on solar power, combining surface debris removal with integrated water quality management—essentially becoming a floating pool lab.
The EcoSurfer Senti uses AI-enhanced vision and dual sensors to identify and capture floating debris within a two-meter radius. Its SolarSeeker technology automatically navigates toward optimal sunlight to ensure continuous operation day and night without requiring cords or manual charging.
Beyond debris collection, the device features built-in lab-grade sensors that continuously monitor pH, chlorine, ORP, and temperature levels. When adjustments are needed, it automatically dispenses precise microdoses of treatment. Pool owners can track real-time water quality data and receive alerts through the Aiper app, creating what the company describes as a healthier pool environment with reduced chemical and energy consumption.
Beyond the Pool: Smart Yard Expansion
Aiper isn’t limiting its AI ambitions to pools. The company also unveiled several additional products that extend smart automation throughout outdoor spaces.
The Scuba V3 Pro brings AI-powered self-optimization to pool cleaning, handling floors, walls, and shallow areas with JellyFloat anti-stuck hovering and multi-layer MicroMesh filtration. The more accessible Scuba V3 offers cognitive AI patrol cleaning that works 10 times faster than traditional methods, with AI vision capable of recognizing over 20 types of debris in just three seconds.
Moving beyond pools entirely, the IrriSense 2 represents what Aiper calls the world’s first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system. This device combines a controller, sprinklers, electric valve, and nutrient feeder in one unit, supporting up to ten customizable watering zones while conserving up to 40% of water usage.
Market Position and Track Record
Aiper’s innovations come from a position of market strength. Recent research from Euromonitor International confirms the company holds the top global position for smart robotic pool cleaners based on 2025 manufacturer sales volume. Since its founding in 2017, Aiper has consistently introduced industry-first technologies, helping establish smart pool care as the industry standard.
The brand serves more than 3 million users worldwide through over 7,000 stores across 50+ countries and regions. Aiper’s track record includes prestigious honors like the Red Dot Design Award, iF Design Award, and recognition as a CES Innovation Awards Honoree from 2023 through 2026.
As Richard, CEO of Aiper, explains: “Smarter solutions and AI are unlocking new possibilities across every part of the yard—and now, it’s transforming the pool and lawn. With our new cognitive AI-driven pool cleaners and intuitive smart yard solutions, Aiper is making outdoor care easier and more sustainable.”
