First of all, they sprouted armsNow, robot vacuums are getting legs. Latest bot from Dream It has two short legs that can propel it to a height of up to 6 cm (about 2.5 inches).
The Dreame X50 Ultra robot vacuum uses a system called ProLeap, which the company previously launched Demoed at IFA tech show Last year in Berlin, Germany. DreamEye calls the device's appendage a “motorized swing arm” that “enables stage navigation up to 6 cm height.” But they are clearly legs.
