might be the future of cleaning

Description:
Right now, Dreame's bot cleans with all the enthusiasm of a sleep-deprived 
teen, but the idea has tons of potential.

FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
Dreame Cyber10 Ultra is a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm It has a pincer 
to move clutter, but can also select detail tools to sweep or dust with It's 
a little slow and clunky, but plenty of potential 

For the past year or so, robot vacuum brands have been weirdly preoccupied 
with adding mechanical arms to their bots. So far, we've only seen one 
example actually make it to market  the Roborock Saros Z70 , which I found 
looked cool but wasn't actually that useful in practice (it hasn't made it 
into my best robot vacuum recommendations list). 

However, I've just seen Dreame's take on the idea at IFA 2025 , and it adds 
some new functionality that could change my mind about arm-equipped robot 
vacuums. 

Like Roborock's model, the Dreame Cyber10 Ultra's arm has a pincer for 
tidying away clutter. However, where it differs is that the Cyber10 can also 
select from a range of detail tools, which attach to the end of the arm and 
enable it to perform other cleaning tasks. 

Currently, there's a brush for cleaning into the corners of rooms, and a 
duster for dusting baseboards. I saw the former in action and it didn't quite 
blow me away, but I think the concept has tons of potential. 

First the bot approached the dock  which has hutches that contain the extra 
tools  and very slowly selected the correct tool for what it wanted to do. It 
then docked the tool on the end of its arm, before making its way over to the 
corner of the demo area to do some dusting. 

There's apparently a suction channel within the arm, so the bot is actually 
vacuuming (presumably quite gently) on the end of its arm. The cleaning 
process appeared very lethargic, and the tool didn't look very secure on the 
end of the arm, but imagine the effort-saving potential if the design was 
developed and improved. 

I don't have a release date or pricing specifics, but there's enough 
information available to make me think this bot might be making its way to 
market before too long. You might also like... I've seen two game-changing
