"Last year at CES, Dreame showed off a robot vacuum prototype with a mechanical arm. But while we were able to see the arm extend and retract, we didn't see the device, which was described as a prototype at the time, actually grab anything, which was a bit disappointing. This year, though, the company has made its arm-enabled vacuum a reality with the Cyber 10 Ultra."
"The vacuum has an extendable arm that looks pretty similar to the prototype version we saw last year. It extends from the top of the vacuum and has a claw-like device at the end for scooping up objects. According to Dreame, it can pick up items that weigh up to 500 grams (about 1 pound) so it should be able to grab a wider variety of stuff than the Roborock vac we saw last year, which had a 300-gram weight limit for its arm."
"The arm can also do more than pick up stuff from the floor. It supports its own cleaning accessories, and can grab vacuum nozzles and brush attachments from its base station. This allows the arm to act as an extension of the vacuum itself so it can be used similarly to how you might use hose attachments to reach hard-to-get areas with a traditional vacuum."
Dreame's Cyber 10 Ultra brings a functional mechanical arm to a consumer robot vacuum. The extendable arm deploys from the top and ends with a claw capable of lifting items up to 500 grams, allowing it to retrieve more objects than comparable 300-gram arms. The arm also holds and swaps cleaning accessories, grabbing vacuum nozzles and brush heads from a base station so the robot can access hard-to-reach areas like a handheld vacuum with hose attachments. The unit includes mopping functionality and can climb small steps up to 6 cm. Dreame previewed the model at IFA and targets an August release with an expected price near €1799.
