Dreame is also presenting new robot vacuum cleaners at CES 2025. The new ProLeap system can overcome obstacles up to a height of 6 cm, which is 2 cm more than the new Roborock Saros Z70, which moves objects away using a gripping arm. With Dreame, the arm can also use sponges to clean independently.

Summary :

Four new functions for Dreame robot vacuum cleaners

Dreame unveils four innovations for its robot vacuum cleaners at CES 2025 in Las Vegas: a multi-articulated bionic robot arm, the multi-mop replacement station, the ProLeap system and VersaLift navigation. With these new systems, robots should be able to navigate the house better and clean more surfaces.

ProLeap system elevates vacuums

As the new flagship of the X50 series, Dreame introduced the X50 Ultra Complete, a robot vacuum cleaner with the new ProLeap system and VersaLift navigation. The ProLeap system is a new technology for overcoming obstacles that the manufacturer had already presented at IFA 2024. It features two robotic, retractable legs that lift the robot vacuum cleaner, allowing it to overcome obstacles such as door thresholds and small steps. It also allows crossing double-thickness door thresholds up to 6 cm high. By overcoming a single obstacle, a maximum of 4.2 cm can be crossed, as indicated in the small print. In addition, the distance between double-layer thresholds must be greater than 4 cm.

VersaLift lowers the sensors

The new VersaLift navigation, meanwhile, aims to improve cleaning under low furniture. The X50 Ultra Complete has an adjustable DToF sensor for this purpose. The system elevates for 360-degree scanning and lowers to a total height of 3.5 inches to better reach under furniture. However, this is still almost an inch higher than the new Roborock models, which are only 7.98 cm high. The VersaLift function must be activated in the app and Dreame points out that the top of the robot vacuum cleaner can be scratched by low furniture.

In addition, the X50 Ultra Complete has RGB imaging, a dual laser and an AI camera with LED lighting to navigate and detect obstacles.

Multi-jointed robot arm cleans and tidy

In addition, Dreame will also build a multi-jointed robotic arm in the future that will improve cleaning through AI recognition. The arm is powered by a 4-joint motor module and can be extended up to 30 cm and lift objects such as toys or shoes up to 400 grams, 100 grams more than the Roborock’s arm.

The robot uses light combined with an AI-powered binocular system to identify and pick up objects such as slippers, children’s toys, and pet supplies. The RGB camera placed on the top provides a 360-degree panoramic view. Users can connect to the camera via live streaming via the app as usual.

The robot arm is also capable of independently selecting and using tools such as brushes and sponges. With a reach of up to 40cm, it should be able to clean narrow spaces that it wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach.

Multi-mop exchange station

Dreame’s new multi-mop exchange station aims to solve one problem: cross-contamination between rooms during cleaning. The dock, which accommodates up to three pairs, automatically switches between mops for different areas so the same mop isn’t used in the kitchen as it is in the bathroom.
