I'll look at your arm and lift up one of your arms and two legs. It was a battle of the bots on the CES show floor as robot vacuum makers Dreamy and Roborock added limbs to their rival RoboVac.

Dreame launched This is the X50 Ultra At the show earlier this week, the first robovac was introduced that can use its legs to move across steps and rooms up to 6cm high. But elsewhere at the show, competitor Roborock was showing off its latest flagship Saros Z70Who has a hand that can pick up objects like socks.

Not to be outdone, Dream showed off a soon-to-be-released model at its CES booth that combines those two stair-climbing legs with its own robotic arm.

Dreamy's model has a heavier-looking arm than Roborock's, and it says it can lift objects up to 500 grams, while Roborock can only lift objects up to 300 grams. Dreamy says its arm can pick up sneakers as large as a men's size 42 (size 9 in the US) and move them to a designated spot in your home. This concept can apply to small toys and other items, and you'll be able to designate specific areas for the robot to take certain items to, like taking toys to the playroom and shoes to the front door.

Although I didn't see the robot picking up the sneaker — or anything — apparently, the infamous CES show floor Wi-Fi couldn't hack it. Instead, they showed the strong-looking arm moving up, down, and around while the robot raised itself on its two little legs. It looked like a small horse.

Another interesting invention is a separate toolbox with various brushes that Dreame says the arm can attach to, making it able to reach corners and tight spaces where the bot itself can't get into and blow out dirt and dust. Can take out. They also had a new base station that dispenses multiple mopping pads. This allows the robot to choose different pads for different tasks around your home – one for the kitchen and another for the bathroom – to help avoid cross-contamination around your home.

Dreame's Longdong Chen said Social classThat step-climbing, tool-using, arm-toting bot should be available later this year. The price hasn't been announced, but it's a safe bet that it will cost an arm and a leg.
