CES 2026: Aiper brings smarter, more reliable automation to the smart yard

Having a backyard pool is an incredible luxury, but the maintenance of it might make it feel more like work than pleasure. Stopping algae blooms, avoiding grime buildup, and the endless leaf and branch skimming are grueling pool maintenance tasks. A smart robot pool cleaner can make a world of difference, and that’s where Aiper comes in.

Aiper is the world’s no. 1 smart robotic pool cleaner brand known for its innovations in energy efficiency, sustainable design, and AI-driven automation. At CES 2026, the company is showcasing the first-ever Cognitive AI Powered pool cleaners, the Scuba V3 series, along with its latest innovations in smart irrigation and pool water-quality management tools. With Aiper, you’ll enjoy smart, reliable, and carefree smart yard maintenance, so you can spend more time in your yard rather than cleaning it. Here’s what you need to know.

Aiper Scuba V3 series – World’s first cognitive AI Powered robotic pool cleaners series

The headline feature of the Aiper Scuba V3 series is Cognitive AI, available across all three models in the lineup. Powered by Cognitive AI Navium™ Mode and VisionPath™ adaptive navigation, this results in an intelligent continuous loop that lets the robot see, interpret, decide, and adapt in real time. Building on AI vision cleaning, the robot can refine its cleaning patterns, frequency, and intensity by analyzing factors like the pool size, weather conditions, and historical cleaning data.

The 2026 CES Innovation Award honoree Scuba V3 Ultra is the one to get if you’re looking for complete coverage and thorough cleaning. As world’s first cognitive AI Powered 6-in-1 robotic pool cleaner, it can manage everything, including the floor, pool walls, the waterline, surface cleaning, and 20cm shallow areas. It even comes with a chlorine tablet chamber to clean the water as it goes along.

It’s the industry’s first robot pool cleaner to feature an AI-powered dual-camera system that can recognize more than 20 object or debris types. And not only does it detect debris, but also measures distance, ensuring that the robot slows down when approaching these cleaning spots to provide a thorough, one-pass clean.

And once it’s done cleaning, the JellyFloat™ Energy-Smart Lift Engine uses active air cushions to balance the robot as it climbs to the surface after completing its tasks. You don’t have to worry about it struggling to resurface or needing a hook to fish it out of the water; the Scuba V3 Ultra will make it back on its own every time.

Along with the high-end Ultra, the series also includes the very capable Scuba V3 Pro and the standard Scuba V3 models. While they miss out on the dual-camera system, cognitive AI Powered navigation and smart cleaning are still available, ensuring efficient cleaning and spotless pools.

The Aiper IrriSense 2 combines an irrigation controller, a rotor sprinkler, an electric valve, and a nutrient feeder, into one single device, essentially giving you a smarter solution to cover your entire garden, up to 445 sq.m. You can create up to 10 customized zones with precise point, line, and area mapping, for efficient irrigation using a simple, intuitive map setup.

This efficiency results in up to 40% water conservation. Since you can customize and create precise watering zones, you don’t have to worry about wasted water that is sprayed on sidewalks and driveways. It’s also TÜV-Certified for reliable water pressure stability. And with its built-in Weather-Sense Response System, the IrriSense 2 will automatically cancel any watering and irrigation plans on rainy days or if it’s particularly windy.

It’s simple and easy to use, with a 15-minute self-installation process. The Aiper app serves as your intelligent control hub for creating maps, setting schedules, remotely controlling the device, and monitoring data like real-time water usage and savings.

Of course, not every area of your garden will have the same watering requirements. Flower beds, vegetable patches, and lawn grass all have different needs. And that’s one of the most significant upgrades with the IrriSense 2 compared to its predecessor. Instead of a single “garden” zone, you can set up plant-specific multi-zone irrigation to ensure that every plant type in your backyard gets tailored watering.

If you’re looking for an efficient pool surface cleaner with a built-in water quality management system, Aiper has you covered with the EcoSurfer Senti. This solar-powered surface skimmer comes with an AI camera and a 2m detection range. It can recognize more than 20 object or debris types, enabling 10x faster, more efficient cleaning than traditional skimmers.

It features a DebrisGuard™ anti-leakage design that prevents debris overflow and leakage, boosting efficiency. And with a 150um fine filtration basket, it will clean debris particles you can’t even see. It’s solar-powered, so you’ll get 24/7 uninterrupted cleaning if needed.

Another highlight of the EcoSurfer Senti is its automated water quality testing and management, which checks pH levels (±0.2), free chlorine levels, ORP (±1 mV), and water temperature (±0.5°C) to ensure optimal conditions when you get in the pool.

Aiper presented its full smart yard lineup at CES 2026, including the Scuba V3 series, EcoSurfer Senti, and the IrriSense 2 irrigation system, reinforcing its commitment to smart, reliable, and carefree pool and lawn care.

At an exclusive CES booth event on January 7, Aiper showcased key technologies such as the Scuba V3 Ultra’ JellyFloat™ technology and IrriSense’s strategic irrigation, offering a live demonstration of how its smart yard ecosystem comes together.
