Chinese household appliances maker Dreame Technology unveiled more than 20 new artificial intelligence-embedded products at this year’s CES trade show in Las Vegas, showing a glimpse of the future when smart devices would run almost all chores in a house.
Those formed part of more than 150 products that Dreame, one of the world’s top five vendors of robot vacuum cleaners, exhibited at the four-day trade show that concludes this Friday.
Dreame’s new “AI-powered whole-home smart ecosystem” included a refrigerator with a built-in sparkling water system, night-vision security cameras, a hair dryer that analysed the health of a person’s scalp, a robot vacuum cleaner that can climb stairs, smart rings and action cameras. The firm also exhibited a bright-green concept electric supercar resembling a Bugatti.

“We want to improve everyday life for users through leading technologies,” Dreame global president Chang Xinwei told the Post on the sidelines of CES.

Chang said many of the company’s core technologies were “highly reusable” across different product lines. He pointed out that recent advances in large language models and physical AI – an area in which Dreame had a dedicated team – helped accelerate innovation at the company.
