The robot lawnmower is equipped with the brand's OmniSense 2.0 navigation system alongside 3D LiDAR and a 1080p HDR camera lens that's rated to capture a 360-degree view of its surroundings. The unit has the brand's [EdgeMaster cutting system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunseeker-robotics) that utilizes a sliding cutting head to leave less than 5cm of grass uncut at the edges for a cleaner look. The Dreame A2 1200 robot lawnmower is rated to handle slopes up to 50% and will operate at roughly 55dB to ensure it doesn't cause too much disturbance.
