Beijing Roborock Technology Co., Ltd. — robot-vacuum maker (MA-L)

Beijing Roborock Technology Co., Ltd. (brand: Roborock) is a Beijing-based consumer-IoT manufacturer best known for WiFi-connected robot vacuum cleaners and cordless stick vacuums that use LiDAR or camera navigation and lean on a smartphone app plus cloud back end for control, floor-map storage, and firmware updates. The company was founded in July 2014, took Xiaomi investment that September to join Xiaomi's ecological chain, and listed on the Shanghai STAR market in February 2020; its products sell in 40-plus countries. In the IEEE registry it holds MA-L (24-bit OUI) blocks registered to the full company name at a Haidian District, Beijing address. The IEEE registry confirms two MA-L prefixes — B0:4A:39 and 24:9E:7D — and a third-party aggregator (maclookup.app) also lists C8:C9:92; treat the count as a snapshot, not an IEEE total. A Roborock OUI on a network reliably flags a Roborock smart-home appliance rather than a general-purpose computer, which is useful for asset classification but also worth noting from a privacy and segmentation standpoint: these are mapping-capable, cloud-connected devices. Older models had documented security history — a 2021 Tuya IoT-cloud weak-RNG issue (patched via firmware that September) and Check Point Research RCE work that reached the camera feed and LiDAR floor maps — so segmenting and patching them is prudent. IEEE publishes no registration date for OUI blocks, so any "date registered" seen on third-party tools is a database artifact, not a first-party fact, and is left null here.

Analyst note

A Roborock OUI identifies a cloud-connected, mapping-capable robot vacuum, not a general computer. Useful for IoT asset classification; given the documented security history on older models, segment these devices and keep firmware current. MAC alone won't reveal model or patch level.
