Dreame A2 Robotic Mower (Quick Look) - Intelligent Lawn Care
This robo-mower uses smart sensors and technology to enable you to more efficiently care for and cut your lawn.
Audio transcription
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
We've taken a look at quite a few robotic vacuum cleaners from Dream, a relatively new brand."
"Not necessarily a new brand in general, but a new brand to us, which we've covered over the past couple of years.
But every single time they've sent us one of their flagship robot vacuum cleaners, we've always been very impressed by the sheer sort of effect, the nature of the effect as well, and by how good something like the app ecosystem ended up being."
"But there has been one big outlier, not that we've hated it, but essentially just that it was kind of an outlier to their otherwise sort of robotic vacuum stick vacuuming business, which was that they also make robotic mowers, meaning something like this.
We took a look at the A1, which was their first foray into this market last year, and this is the A2."
"And the fun thing about robotic mowers as well is that initially if you go out to a store and you purchase a robotic mower, which costs you, let's say, $300, $500, because those definitely exist, they usually require you, and they did for years, all of them did for years, that you mark down the bit of your lawn that you want covered by something like this, and then you dig into the ground a little wire, which is the only way that something like this will be able to navigate through that space and know where the outer boundaries of that space is located, because otherwise it will just steer off into the distance and you'll never see it again."
"This is expensive, the A2, because it does not need that wire.
The A1 did not need that wire either, but this one definitely does not need that wire.
So what it does is, essentially, which is why it's so nice that Dream makes it, it acts like a robot vacuum cleaner."
"It has a little stand, which you place at some place on your lawn.
This weighs 16 kilograms, but it is IPX6 certified, meaning that, essentially, it will, well, it will take on rain and storm and even snow.
I would still suggest that you put it in somewhere where it's covered, but you don't have to, and when you want it to, either on a set schedule or when you turn it on through the Dream app, it will leave its dock and it will patrol in U-formed patterns up to 3,000 square meters of lawn."
"It will use a pretty nice and pretty advanced combination of a 3D LiDAR array where it can see up to 70 meters ahead and object recognize like a vacuum cleaner would, and it also has this covered by this little rubber flap here, a 360 degree camera, meaning that it can sense and see objects which are behind it and to the side."
"It essentially creates a dome effect around it constantly so it knows where it is.
Then it utilizes a satellite uplink to know, screw its head on straight, essentially, to know where it is.
It also has, as you can see here, a 1080p HDR-enabled front camera."
"That enables you to see what it is seeing when it is doing its thing, like a robot vacuum cleaner.
It also just enables it to do more advanced object recognition, meaning that with lawns as much as floors, you'll often leave something there that you don't want this to shred."
"Well, then it won't because it will recognize that object, remember where it is on the lawn, and it will either drive around and then it will remember the next time that it's going out for a drive that that object was there on the lawn, and it will maintain and mow that particular space so that it maintains the same cutting grass height as the rest of the lawn that is maintained."
"Really cool stuff.
So, does all of this work?
That is the question, isn't it?
We are actually in the middle of shipping this out to a contact of mine who has a pretty nice square bit of lawn where there is nothing funny going on."
"I mean, this has inclination support so it can actually drive up pretty small hills, and there's a bunch of extra features here that's enabled through the app that just means that it's very, very versatile, but I can't wait to see how the Edgemaster system, which is the cutting system that they're utilizing here, which it's hard to show in an unboxing style video like this, but again, we'll be shipping it out and we'll be supplying you with some footage of that in our upcoming review."
"So for much more on Dream and the A2, stay tuned for more.
See you on the next one.
