3i P10 Ultra (3i) vs Dreame L40s Ultra AE (Dreame)

The 3i P10 Ultra measures 34 cm diameter x 10 cm height and weighs 4.5 kg, providing a compact round profile suited for home navigation. In contrast, the Dreame L40s Ultra AE has slightly larger dimensions at 35 x 35 x 9.7 cm and is lighter at 4.1 kg, potentially aiding maneuverability in tight spaces. Both share similar low-profile heights under 10.5 cm, facilitating access under furniture.

3i P10 Ultra employs spinning LiDAR with SLAM and 3D mapping for precise path planning, while Dreame L40s Ultra AE uses AI-enhanced SLAM integrating RGB camera and 3D structured light. The Dreame model specifies a speed of 0.3 m/s, absent in 3i data, which may influence cleaning cycle times. Real-world tests indicate both perform well in obstacle avoidance, with Dreame L40s variants scoring high in evaluations[4].

3i P10 Ultra includes LiDAR, dual 3D structured light sensors, AI camera, ultrasonic sensor, cliff sensors, and bump sensors for comprehensive environmental detection. Dreame L40s Ultra AE features LiDAR, RGB camera, 3D structured light, cliff sensor, and bump sensor, lacking the dual structured light and ultrasonic components. This gives 3i a broader sensor suite for perception tasks.

Both robots leverage AI in navigation, with 3i P10 Ultra using AI-powered visual recognition via its AI camera and proprietary firmware algorithms. Dreame L40s Ultra AE integrates AI-enhanced SLAM with RGB camera support in Dreame OS. User discussions highlight strong performance in both for avoiding obstacles and handling debris[2].

Both models claim a 2-3 year battery lifespan, indicating comparable longevity expectations. Dreame L40s Ultra AE demonstrates 2.63 minutes per percent battery efficiency in tests, outperforming averages, while specific 3i data aligns with similar runtime capabilities[4]. No speed impacts battery distinctly beyond Dreame's 0.3 m/s rating.

Designed for home cleaning, both handle vacuuming and mopping tasks via autonomous operation. 3i P10 Ultra's extensive sensors suit varied home layouts, while Dreame L40s Ultra AE's lighter weight and speed aid quick coverage. Tests show Dreame variants excelling in carpet deep clean at 85% and mopping scores[4], with 3i noted for mulch and debris handling[2].

3i P10 Ultra runs proprietary firmware with AI-enhanced navigation and cleaning algorithms, controllable via smartphone app and voice assistants. Dreame L40s Ultra AE uses Dreame OS with app-based firmware updates and similar controls. Both support voice integration, though specific ecosystems differ.

Safety includes child lock, cliff detection, and anti-collision sensors on both robots. 3i P10 Ultra adds these via its sensor array, while Dreame mirrors with equivalent cliff and collision detection. Evaluations confirm effective obstacle avoidance in real-world scenarios[3][4].
