Dreame’s A3 AWD Pro is a wire-free robotic lawn mower built around sensor-driven mapping rather than perimeter cables. The core idea is OmniSense 3.0 navigation: a 360° 3D LiDAR stack fused with dual AI “binocular” cameras, so the mower can localize, recognize boundaries, and keep a consistent mowing line even in irregular garden geometry. In the demo you see it identify the virtual boundary, back off, and re-plan, with most control happening from a phone app. https://www.dreametech.com/products/a3-awd-pro-robot-lawn-mower
Mechanically, the AWD part matters: 4WD hub motors and a treaded wheel design target slippery grass, ruts, and transitions. Dreame quotes up to 80% (about 38.7°) climbing and crossing up to 5.5 cm obstacles, which is the difference between handling a garden edge and getting beached on it. The mower is also positioned to cope with thicker growth (Dreame mentions grass up to roughly 15 cm) and to mulch through light leaf fall in one pass too.
Cutting hardware is aimed at both coverage and finishing: a 40 cm dual-disc deck with 3–10 cm height adjustment, plus EdgeMaster 2.0 to trim close to borders with around 1.5 cm edge precision when the path runs tight. The workflow is “map once, maintain continuously,” where the garden becomes a live map in the app and the mower can stream video telemetry so you can verify what it thinks the boundary is without walking the whole yard. Shown at CES Las Vegas 2026, it’s a practical snapshot of how consumer LiDAR robotics is moving outdoors today.
Obstacle handling is where the sensor fusion earns its keep. The A3 AWD Pro is designed to classify and avoid 300+ common yard objects, and it has a “pet friendly” behavior that slows down and turns away as it approaches animals. That matters for toys, branches, and the unpredictable stuff that breaks autonomy, and it’s also a safety layer when you’ve got kids or pets nearby. Dreame also leans on frequent firmware updates to refine detection models and path planning over time, month after month regularly.
On timing and cost, Dreame’s CES messaging points to a Q1 rollout, with European availability called out from March 2026 for the A3 AWD Pro series. Published pricing in Europe is €2,599 for the A3 AWD Pro 3500 and €2,999 for the A3 AWD Pro 5000, with regional pricing likely varying by channel and warranty terms, so treat those as launch anchors rather than a final global price.
