RoboSense, a leading AI-driven robotics technology company, hosted its first AI Robotics Global Online Launch Event of 2025, titled "Hello Robot." The event, held on January 2, 2025, marked a pivotal moment in RoboSense's journey as a global robotics technology platform. It highlighted the company’s strategic vision and introduced a series of groundbreaking innovations set to debut at CES 2025, running from January 7–10 in Las Vegas.
This event emphasized RoboSense's commitment to breaking down complex technologies into accessible solutions, ensuring that the audience could grasp the significance of its advancements without needing technical expertise.
RoboSense’s mission, "Safer World, Smarter Life," underscores its dedication to simplifying and advancing robotics technology. This ethos is evident in every product, from its innovative LiDAR systems to its dexterous robotic solutions, all aimed at making robotics more accessible and impactful.
Building on a decade of innovation, RoboSense demonstrated its expertise in LiDAR development and intelligent robotics at the event. Central to the unveiling was RoboSense’s humanoid robotic prototype, which serves as a universal development platform for advancing vision, tactile sensing, mobility, and manipulation solutions.
This prototype is more than a technological marvel; it’s a clear statement of RoboSense’s vision to democratize robotics development. By providing developers with versatile tools, the company is enabling the creation of smarter and safer robots.
RoboSense revealed three high-performance digital LiDAR products that signal a new era of digitalization in both automotive and robotics applications. These innovations push the boundaries of size, resolution, and precision:
The EM4 is the world’s first "Thousand-Beam" ultra-long-range automotive-grade digital LiDAR. Featuring 1,080 beams and a detection range of up to 600 meters, the EM4 enables 1080P high-definition 3D perception, advancing intelligent driving and fully autonomous capabilities.
The E1R is the first fully solid-state digital LiDAR designed for robotics. It boasts automotive-grade reliability with RoboSense’s proprietary SPAD-SoC and 2D VCSEL chips. Its 120° × 90° ultra-wide field of view and compact design make it ideal for obstacle avoidance, mapping, and navigation across industrial and embodied intelligent robots.
The Airy is a compact hemispherical digital LiDAR, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball. It delivers a 360° × 90° field of view, a detection range of 120 meters, and precision up to ±1cm. This innovation supports omnidirectional perception, making it ideal for robots navigating complex environments.
These developments highlight a clear direction: RoboSense is making LiDAR technology more efficient and accessible, aligning with its mission to simplify robotics for widespread use.
RoboSense showcased its commitment to becoming the global leader in robotics platforms through advancements in three core areas:
The Active Camera integrates sensor hardware, computational cores, and AI algorithms. It merges LiDAR signals and camera data to provide active environmental perception, solving issues like lighting variability and visual illusions. Developers benefit from an SDK that simplifies mapping, localization, and obstacle avoidance.
The second-generation Papert 2.0 dexterous hand incorporates 20 degrees of freedom and hand-eye coordination. This innovation enhances task complexity and versatility, making it a key component for robotics applications requiring precision.
Leveraging its automotive expertise, RoboSense introduced Robo FSD, an intelligent mobility solution enabling autonomous point-to-point navigation for mobile robotics. This solution is tailored to various operational scenarios.
Each of these solutions reflects RoboSense’s focus on usability and adaptability, ensuring that both developers and end-users can experience tangible benefits.
In addition to its LiDAR products, RoboSense launched several components designed to meet diverse robotics needs:
By addressing niche requirements with precision-engineered components, RoboSense empowers robotics creators to tackle specific challenges effectively.
RoboSense’s innovative products, including its digital LiDAR systems and robotics solutions, will be on display at CES 2025. Visit their booth (6700, West Hall, LVCC) from January 7–10 to explore these cutting-edge technologies.
