Inside Dreame’s wild launch event — packed with products no one can buy

Hundreds of influencers, media folks, and a few C-list celebs (sorry, Woz) filled the cavernous halls of the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts last week.

Colin Angle, the maker of the Roomba and the man who helped put 50 million household robots into people’s homes, is back with a new robot. But this one is designed as a companion, not a cleaner.

Dyson finally made a better robot, but a worse vacuum

I’m deeply conflicted about the Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop. It’s the company’s best robotic floor cleaner to date, with excellent mopping performance, good navigation and obstacle detection, and a multifunction dock that takes much of the busywork off your hands. But Dyson’s first attempt at a vacuum-and-mop combo is a […]

I met Olaf — the Frozen robot who might be the future of Disney Parks

You know Olaf. Before K-Pop Demon Hunters, before Wicked, it was Disney’s Frozen that blasted show tunes like “Let it Go” and “Into the Unknown” into our lives. My little girls loved belting those tunes. So when I met Olaf, the Disney Imagineering robot, I kept thinking: I can’t wait for my kids to meet […]

iRobot’s Roomba Mini can clean where its larger robovacs can’t reach

iRobot has announced its first new robot since the company filed for bankruptcy last December and was later acquired by China’s Picea Robotics. At just 9.5-inches in diameter, the new Roomba Mini is half the size of iRobot’s entry-level 105 series robovacs that launched last March, allowing the vacuum to access and clean spaces that […]
