Dreame NEXT: When Technology Starts Sensing You

From April 27 to 30, 2026, Dreame Technology held its “DREAME NEXT” global launch event at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Thousands of guests from more than 50 countries and regions gathered at the iconic venue, including senior industry experts, global core distributors, international mainstream media, and key opinion leaders. This marks Dreame’s largest international launch event to date, and the first time the company has presented its full product ecosystem in a single event, spanning smart mobility, smart home appliances, personal devices, premium personal care, and technology for social good. The event was organized around five themed segments: Drive Next, Living Next, Connect Next, Self Next, and Humanity Next.

Chang Xinwei, Global President of Dreame Technology, addressed attendees at the event: “Technology comes first, then great products follow. What began with a motor has grown into an ecosystem that spans how people move, how they live at home, and the devices they carry with them.” As of December 2025, Dreame has filed more than 10,000 patents globally, with over 3,000 granted, and research personnel account for more than 70 percent of the company’s total workforce.

Silicon Valley Icons Converge for Cross-Industry Dialogue

Sebastian Thrun, Stanford University professor and founder of Google X Lab, widely regarded as the father of modern autonomous vehicles, attended the Drive Next segment. Following the unveiling of the Nebula NEXT 01 JET Edition, Thrun remarked: “Put this together with the latest and best self-driving, and you have a driving machine the world has never, ever seen before.” Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak appeared at the Connect Next personal devices segment, joining Global President Chang Xinwei and Counterpoint Research analyst Jeff Fieldhack for an on-stage conversation. Three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade attended the Living Next home appliance demonstration session. Forum guests included Turing Award laureate David Patterson, former NASA scientist Sylvia Acevedo, former Microsoft Global AI Strategy Lead William Fong, and former Meta VP of Product Design Julie Zhuo, among others.

At the opening day forum themed “In the Age of AI, Every Product Deserves a Reinvention,” William Fong stated: “I think Dreame has the foundational OS for reality.” Sebastian Thrun added: “I think Dreame is really positioned to start moving from AI software into the physical world.”

Full Product Ecosystem Takes the Stage for the First Time

The breadth of products unveiled at DREAME NEXT was unprecedented in Dreame’s history. In smart mobility, the Kosmera brand officially launched the Nebula NEXT 01 JET Edition rocket-powered vehicle. According to official figures, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 0.9 seconds, and was accompanied by the debut of the DH2160, Dreame’s first automotive-grade LiDAR system with a resolution of 2,160 lines. In smart home appliances, more than 20 new products were unveiled, with standout launches including the Z1 Laundry Robot, which uses a multi-joint robotic arm to autonomously handle the full laundry cycle, and the N1 Refrigerator, which integrates a multimodal food sensing system and announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to incorporate the Gemini large language model. In personal devices, the AURORA smartphone series features a full-focal-length 200-megapixel imaging system and a modular design architecture, accompanied by three smart ring models covering health monitoring, NFC interaction, and vibration alerts, with an official battery life rating of up to 150 days. In personal care, the Pilot 20 Intelligent Hair Dryer features dual robotic arms that sense scalp and hair conditions in real time and adjust airflow accordingly, while the AirStyle Pro HI styler delivers eight-in-one functionality powered by 130,000 RPM airflow technology. Notably, Dreame’s personal care team announced during the event a donation initiative providing shavers, hair dryers, and other daily personal care essentials to San Francisco’s unhoused population, reflecting the brand’s commitment to combining technological innovation with social responsibility. The event concluded with a Scientists Forum featuring Turing Award laureate David Patterson and other leading academics, while the Yu Hao Foundation announced the launch of the U35 Young Scientists Program and SkyAxis 2.0 initiative.

Technology in Service of People: Redefining the Standards of Human-Machine Interaction

Across the product matrix unveiled at DREAME NEXT, Dreame’s technological narrative follows a clear internal logic: three core technology pillars — high-speed digital motors, intelligent algorithms, and bionic robotic arms — serve as a shared platform driving expansion across categories as diverse as rocket-powered vehicles and hair dryers. This model of platform technology enabling multi-category growth represents a fundamentally different approach from the single-category specialization typical of traditional consumer electronics brands, and bears closer resemblance to the expansion logic of technology infrastructure companies.

What stands out is Dreame’s consistent framing of “technology in service of people” as the throughline of the entire event. A refrigerator that proactively monitors user health, an air conditioner that adjusts airflow based on the user’s position, a hair dryer that senses hair condition and responds in real time — the common direction across these product designs is a shift from users actively controlling devices to devices actively sensing user needs. If this approach can be consistently validated at scale in mass production, it may have far-reaching implications for the standards of human-machine interaction across the consumer electronics industry.

On the commercial side, Dreame cited data showing its robot vacuums currently rank first in market share across 30 countries, with North American revenue growing 189 percent year-on-year in 2025, overseas revenue accounting for nearly 80 percent of total sales, and a compound annual growth rate of 100 percent sustained over eight consecutive years. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in China, Dreame’s products are now available in more than 120 countries and regions, supported by over 6,500 offline stores worldwide.

The conclusion of DREAME NEXT marks Dreame’s formal arrival on the international stage as a full-category technology brand. From foundational technologies to end-user experience, from product ecosystems to the cultivation of scientific talent, what Dreame sought to present over four days in San Francisco was a comprehensive vision of intelligent living for the decade ahead — one that the global market will be watching closely to see realized.
