Dreame has introduced a concept robot vacuum that can climb small steps, showcased at the IFA event in Berlin. This innovative feature is part of Dreame's new ProLeap system, which uses retractable legs to help the vacuum navigate over thresholds and small steps up to 1.5 inches high. This advancement could significantly enhance the functionality of home cleaning robots, allowing them to clean more efficiently across different floor levels without manual intervention , .

The concept is still in the prototype stage, but it demonstrates Dreame's commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotic vacuum technology. The ProLeap system's retractable legs are designed to provide the necessary lift to overcome obstacles that traditional robot vacuums might struggle with, such as high room transitions or small steps .

This feature could be particularly useful in homes with uneven flooring or multiple levels, as it allows the vacuum to clean more areas without needing to be manually moved. While Dreame's climbing robot vacuum is still a concept, it represents a significant step forward in the development of more autonomous and capable home cleaning devices .
