It seems that Roborock isn’t the one firm that introduced a robotic vacuum with a mechanical arm to CES 2025. Rival firm Dreame, which unveiled its stair-climbing robotic vacuum earlier within the week, can also be engaged on a robotic vacuum with an arm for selecting up objects.
The machine remains to be a prototype, in line with the corporate, however the as but unnamed robo vac was on full show at Dreame’s CES sales space. Contemplating it’s nonetheless a prototype, the precise arm seemed way more substantial in comparison with the one on Roborock’s Saros Z70. It was a lot thicker and had a much bigger “claw” that seemed prefer it would possibly be capable to choose up barely heavier objects. (Roborock says its vac can choose up object that weigh as much as 300 grams.)
Sadly, Dreame wasn’t displaying it really seize something, however I used to be in a position to watch the arm lengthen and retract a number of instances. It gave the impression to be on an identical machine because the X50 because the prototype vacuum additionally rocked up onto “legs,” very similar to Dreame’s stair-stepping X50.
A Dreame rep on the sales space instructed me that the corporate has been engaged on the prototype for some time, however determined to speed up its plans for the vacuum at CES. After a fast look up, I knew precisely what he was referring to: Dreame’s sales space is positioned instantly throughout from Roborock, which was displaying a large duplicate of its arm-wielding Saros Z70 on high of its sales space.
Possibly subsequent yr we’ll see the 2 robotic vacuum arms wrestle.
