About
About Dreame
Dreame is a consumer robotics and home-appliance company based in Suzhou, China. Founded in 2017 following earlier high-speed motor research, it develops robot vacuums and mops, robotic lawn mowers and other household appliances. Its cleaning robots combine mobile navigation, floor-care mechanisms and app-based room control with docks that empty dust, wash cleaning surfaces and replenish water. Products are sold through regional direct stores and retail channels, with specifications and packages varying by market.
The company also develops perception, AI models and motion-control technology for household service robotics. At IFA 2026 it presented ECHO S1, a single-arm wheeled service robot, and ECHO P1, a wheeled humanoid platform, as research systems for multi-step laundry, tidying and object-transport tasks. These programmes extend a commercial cleaning business; the earlier Universal Humanoid Robot remains a distinct historical 2023 demonstrator.
