Dreame Debuts Innovative Robotic Vacuum with Mechanical Arm at CES 2025
While 2024 was highlighted by the advent of self-cleaning robot vacuums, 2025 is shaping up to be the year where robotic limbs take center stage. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 saw the unveiling of cutting-edge robotic vacuums equipped with mechanical arms, with Roborock grabbing much of the spotlight. However, Dreame, a notable competitor, also showcased its own innovative take on this technology.
At CES, Dreame introduced a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm that surpasses its rivals in several aspects. The Dreame arm can lift objects weighing up to 500 grams, which is nearly twice the capacity of Roborock’s equivalent model. Furthermore, its arm can handle a variety of cleaning tools to efficiently tackle stubborn stains and trap dust, providing added functionality.
More Than Just a Vacuum
This revolutionary robot vacuum from Dreame also comes equipped with retractable legs, allowing it to climb over obstacles up to 2.4 inches high, much like the previous Dreame X50 Ultra model. The design also enables the vacuum to autonomously grab necessary tools and return them to the docking station once tasks are completed. Demonstrators at the CES noted that additional tools would be available by the time of its official launch.
Incorporating advanced visual recognition, the vacuum can identify and relocate various objects to designated locations within the household—such as transporting toys to a child's room and socks to the laundry room. This feature highlights a new frontier in home automation courtesy of Dreame's innovation.
Market Entry and Availability
Though Roborock's Saros Z70 is expected to be available in the US by the first half of 2025, Dreame's offering remains a concept. However, there is optimism, as Dreame representatives have indicated the possibility of it hitting the market later in the year. Despite its impressive display of movement capabilities at CES, the mechanical arm did not actively demonstrate any item-picking during the event.
Dreame's strides in robotic technology signify a promising future for household automation, as the company continues to push boundaries with its ambitious designs.
