MOVA T1 Station

Name: MOVA T1 Station
Brand: MOVA

MOVA's first window robot with a base station, which carries a battery so the robot can work away from an outlet. Every performance figure so far comes from MOVA; no independent test has been published, so its cleaning, edge handling and safety features are unverified.

Autonomy Ladder

Why Level III.

One five-rung scale, every category, from acting only on command to working unsupervised anywhere.

VGeneralized AutonomyAny task, any setting. No consumer robot has reached it.
IVEnvironmental AutonomyHandles new obstacles and re-plans in real time; rare in consumer products.
To reach Level IVSustained operation across sessions, including layouts and conditions it has not met before.
IIIConditional AutonomyThis robot

MOVA T1 Station finishes whole jobs in a space it already knows, and still needs a person at the edges.

Navigation and control

19-sensor edge, frame and obstacle detection with Z and N path planning
Why this level
- Per MOVA, 19 sensors detect edges, frames and obstacles while the robot plans Z and N paths, and it returns on its own when the backup battery reaches its reserve.
- The owner still carries the base from window to window and places and removes the robot on each pane.
- No independent test has confirmed the navigation.
- Classified Level III provisionally, matching the MOVA N1.
Autonomy dimension 66 / 100 · 5 sources reviewed

Human Readiness

New to Market.

One question: what does buying this robot today walk you into? The state is computed from the record, and recomputed daily.

Ready NowAssessed, with a clean record on file. A successor may be shipping; the page says so when it is.
New to MarketThis robot

MOVA T1 Station is new to market. The capability is on sale; the ownership record is not in yet.
How this was derived
- Purchasable, but through import channels rather than ordinary US retail.
- On sale 19 days, inside the first-90-day window where the ownership record is still forming.
Notes on the record
- MOVA Australia's store listing for the T1 Station went live on 27 Aug 2026 at AUD 999, in stock with its supplier, and the recorded date is that listing date, the earliest documented date a buyer could order it.
- GadgetGuy listed it in MOVA's Australian launch range on 20 Aug 2026, and EFTM reported it on sale at Harvey Norman on 14 Sep 2026.
- Stadt-Bremerhaven reports a German release in September 2026.
- No US listing was found.
On the record
- Shipping since August 2026
- 5 sources reviewed
What would move it
Crossing 90 days on sale with a published assessment and no documented issues moves it to Ready Now automatically.
WaitA successor is announced and has not shipped; re-read the decision when it arrives.
Known IssuesDocumented problems stand on the record; read the case before buying.

Robovations Score

Why the score is withheld

Not scored

The Robovations Score is withheld on this record. It is not a low score, and it is not an oversight.

Why

Our assessment did not establish an independent source for 7 of the nine inputs: task completion, coverage and navigation, edge-case recovery, operating envelope, field failure rate, software stability, routine maintenance.

The full assessment note

That leaves nothing measured in its capability. A score missing a whole pillar would not describe the machine, so no number is published.

What would change it

An independent account of its task completion that we have verified.
An independent account of its coverage and navigation that we have verified.
An independent account of its edge-case recovery that we have verified.
An independent account of its operating envelope that we have verified.
An independent account of its field failure rate that we have verified.
An independent account of its software stability that we have verified.
An independent account of its routine maintenance that we have verified.

Reported, not scoredneither measures how well the robot works

Five-year costNot costed

AUD 999 RRP in Australia with no subscription. No US price exists, and MOVA publishes no cloth, brush or solution replacement interval, so a five-year figure is not stated.

Data postureCloud-linked

Account required. Maps and telemetry leave the home; core function survives an outage.

What leaves the homeDocumented

MOVA lists no camera; the robot navigates by sensors and is controlled through the MOVAhome app, which also switches on the warm-water setting. Where app data is stored was not verified.

Common questions

What people actually ask.

5 answered

OperationDoes the MOVA T1 Station need a power outlet?

No. MOVA lists up to 110 minutes of cord-free cleaning from the 4,500 mAh battery in the base, and it can also run plugged in.

OperationHow is the T1 Station different from the MOVA N1?

The N1 runs on a mains cable. The T1 Station adds a battery base, water warmed to 40°C and corner brushes, per MOVA and EFTM.

OperationWhat size windows does the T1 Station handle?

MOVA lists a minimum of 30 x 40 cm and a maximum of 2.5 x 8 m.

OperationWhat stops the T1 Station from falling?

MOVA lists a 5.5 m cable that doubles as a safety rope, an automatic fall lock, a counterweighted base and a low-battery auto-return. None has been independently tested.

OwnershipHow much does the MOVA T1 Station cost?

MOVA Australia lists AUD 999, and Stadt-Bremerhaven reports €499 in Germany. No US price has been published.
