Dreame's Innovative Robot Vacuum with Arms and Legs Unveiled at CES 2025

Battle of the Bots: Dreame vs. Roborock at CES 2023

This year's CES showcased an exciting competition between leading robot vacuum manufacturers Dreame and Roborock, both of whom introduced models featuring innovative limbs. The conversation around robotic household helpers has reached new heights, or rather, new legs and arms.

Dreame's Innovative X50 Ultra

Dreame unveiled the X50 Ultra, a revolutionary robovac that can navigate steps and transitions up to 6cm high using its built-in legs. This marks a significant advancement in robot capabilities, offering enhanced mobility and access in cleaning duties.

Roborock's Response with the Saros Z70

Not to be outdone, Roborock introduced its Saros Z70, which features an arm capable of picking up lightweight items, such as socks. This highlights a trend in creating multifunctional robot vacuums that can perform tasks beyond just cleaning the floor.

Combining Features: The Ultimate Roving Cleaner

Dreame didn't stop with just the X50 Ultra; they revealed a concept model that integrates step-climbing legs with a robotic arm. This hybrid design allows the vacuum to pick up items weighing up to 500 grams, such as sneakers, aiding in household organization.

Functionality Beyond Cleaning

• This innovative design means users can train the robot to transport various items around the home, enhancing its utility.
• Dreame’s model can identify destinations, such as moving toys to the playroom or shoes to the front door.

Limitations and Future Improvements

Despite its impressive features, the CES show floor's Wi-Fi proved challenging, preventing live demonstrations of the robot picking up items. Observers were left with visual demonstrations of the robot's arm moving and the robot utilizing its legs.

Additional Features from Dreame

Alongside the robotic arm, Dreame introduced a new toolbox with various brushes that can be attached to the arm. This addition enables the robot to clean corners and tight spaces more effectively, further enhancing its functionality.

Moreover, Dreame's new base station dispenses different mopping pads designed for various types of cleaning tasks, promoting cross-contamination avoidance across different rooms.

What Lies Ahead for Customers?

Dreame's Longdong Chen indicated that the step-climbing, tool-using robotic arm should be available by the end of 2023. While pricing details remain unannounced, expectations are set high.

Conclusion

The advancements presented by Dreame and Roborock are just the beginning in the evolution of household robotics. As technology progresses, we can expect even more innovative solutions to simplify and enhance our daily cleaning routines.
