RoboSense Revolutionising Robotics with AI-Driven Innovations at CES Launch
RoboSense, a trailblazer in AI robotics technology, has set the stage for a transformative year in robotics. Kicking off 2025, the company hosted the inaugural AI Robotics Global Online Launch Event, titled Hello Robot.
This event not only marked a significant leap in RoboSense’s journey but also revealed its ambitious vision to establish itself as a global robotics technology platform. Among the event’s highlights were groundbreaking innovations, including advanced LiDAR products and a humanoid robotic prototype, showcased to an international audience at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.
Redefining RoboSense’s Identity
Since its inception in 2014, RoboSense has been synonymous with cutting-edge LiDAR solutions. Now, the company has extended its expertise into the broader domain of intelligent robotics. This evolution was underscored by the debut of its humanoid robotic prototype, a universal development platform poised to advance the fields of vision, tactile sensing, mobility, and manipulation.
This prototype isn’t just another addition to the robotics market; it’s a comprehensive solution designed to empower developers and engineers to accelerate innovation. By bridging the gap between hardware and software integration, RoboSense aims to redefine what’s possible in robotics technology.
Leading the Digital LiDAR Revolution
At the heart of RoboSense’s CES 2025 showcase were three state-of-the-art digital LiDAR products. These innovations signify a shift toward a fully digitalised LiDAR era, delivering unmatched advancements in precision, range, and compactness.
- EM4: A Game-Changer in Automotive LiDAR: The EM4 has set a new benchmark as the world’s first “Thousand-Beam” ultra-long-range automotive-grade digital LiDAR. With an impressive detection range of 600 metres and 1080P high-definition 3D perception, the EM4 is tailored for advanced autonomous driving and intelligent vehicle systems. Its precision and reliability are reshaping the future of transportation.
- E1R: Tailored for Robotics Applications: Designed specifically for robotics, the E1R is the world’s first fully solid-state digital LiDAR. Built with RoboSense’s proprietary SPAD-SoC and 2D VCSEL chips, the E1R combines an ultra-wide field of view (120° × 90°) with unmatched reliability. It excels in critical tasks such as mapping, obstacle avoidance, and navigation, making it a versatile solution for industrial and commercial robots alike.
- Airy: Hemispherical Vision, Compact Design: The Airy LiDAR sets itself apart with its compact, ping-pong-ball-sized design. Offering a 360° × 90° field of view, this digital LiDAR delivers precision and coverage ideal for omnidirectional perception. Robots operating in dynamic, complex scenarios can rely on Airy for seamless navigation and situational awareness.
A New Era of Robotics Platforms and Solutions
RoboSense’s vision to lead the robotics technology sector was further cemented with the unveiling of its humanoid robotic prototype.
This platform integrates solutions across three critical domains: vision, manipulation, and mobility.
The Active Camera was a standout feature, blending sensor hardware, computational power, and AI algorithms to provide active environmental perception. By fusing LiDAR signals with camera data, it overcomes challenges like poor lighting and visual illusions, enabling precise mapping, localisation, and obstacle avoidance. Its SDK offers developers a plug-and-play solution, drastically reducing development complexity.
The second-generation dexterous hand, Papert 2.0, showcased RoboSense’s expertise in robotics manipulation. With 20 degrees of freedom and integrated hand-eye coordination, it delivers precision and adaptability for tasks requiring intricate handling.
Leveraging its automotive heritage, RoboSense introduced Robo FSD, a mobility solution enabling autonomous point-to-point navigation. From warehouses to urban environments, this innovation enhances robot mobility across diverse scenarios.
Building the Next Generation of Robotics Components
Beyond its LiDAR advancements, RoboSense debuted a suite of incremental components designed to elevate robotic functionality:
- FS-3D Force Sensor: Optimised for legged robots, this sensor provides enhanced stability and responsiveness.
- LA-8000 Linear Motor: A high-power-density solution tailored for robotic hip and knee joints.
- DC-G1 Domain Controller: Supporting real-time perception and advanced motion control, this component is a game-changer for embodied intelligence operations.
These innovations underscore RoboSense’s commitment to delivering robust solutions that meet the diverse needs of the robotics industry.
The RoboSense Vision: Safer World, Smarter Life
With a mission to create a “safer world and smarter life,” RoboSense is poised to redefine global robotics standards. Its bold steps at CES 2025 highlight the company’s drive to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient technologies across industries.
As RoboSense’s innovations roll out globally, the robotics industry can expect unprecedented advancements in automation, intelligence, and human-machine collaboration. If CES 2025 is any indicator, the future of robotics is brighter—and smarter—than ever.
