Last week, RoboSense Technology Co. previewed an artificial intelligence-powered robotics product that will debut at CES 2025 this week. The company said that it demonstrated the company’s strategic vision and performance through this ‘Hello Robot’ event.
“RoboSense has demonstrated unparalleled expertise in LiDAR development and intelligent robotics based on technological innovation over the past 10 years,” the company said.
“This launch event showcased a humanoid robot prototype from RoboSense, a universal development platform that demonstrates the company’s deep understanding of intelligent robotics,” he added. “This comprehensive platform lays the foundation for future advancements in visual, tactile sensing, mobility and manipulation solutions.”
Founded in 2014, RoboSense supplies components and systems to the robotics market. The Shenzhen, China-based company says it is committed to becoming a “global leader in robotics technology platforms.”
RoboSense says the digital age of LiDAR is here.
RoboSense has unveiled three high-performance digital LiDAR products designed for automotive and robotics applications. The company claimed its innovation achieved “unprecedented breakthroughs in size, resolution and precision.”
The report described the EM4 as “the world’s first ‘thousand beam’ ultra-long-range automotive-grade digital LiDAR.” The sensor has 1,080 beams and a detection range of up to 600 meters (1,969.5 feet). EM4 provides 1080P high-definition 3D recognition for autonomous vehicles, RoboSense said.
The E1R solid-state digital lidar for robotics features RoboSense’s proprietary SPAD-SoC and 2D VCSEL chips for automotive-grade reliability. It has a compact aperture and a 120° × 90° viewing angle. RoboSense said the E1R is suitable for obstacle avoidance, mapping and navigation for a wide range of robotics and operational environments.
Airy is a 192-line hemispherical digital lidar that offers a 360° × 90° viewing angle in a compact design comparable to a ping-pong ball, the company said. It boasts a detection range of 120 m (393.7 feet), 1.72 million points per second, and ±1 cm precision for robots requiring omnidirectional awareness in complex scenarios.

Humanoids integrate vision, manipulation, and mobility.
RoboSense has unveiled a humanoid robot prototype to accelerate the development of robotic components and systems. The platform integrates three key areas:
- Vision: RoboSense introduced Active Camera, an intelligent ecosystem that includes sensor hardware, computing cores, and AI algorithms. Active cameras merge LiDAR signals with camera data to provide active environmental awareness and overcome issues such as lighting variability and optical illusions, he said. Using a software development kit (SDK), developers can seamlessly integrate mapping, localization, and obstacle avoidance, reducing development time and system complexity.
- manipulation: RoboSense introduced Papert 2.0, the second generation of dexterity with 20 degrees of freedom that integrates hand-eye coordination to create a closed-loop system. This manipulator increases versatility and complexity across a wide range of tasks.
- liquidity: RoboSense said it has expanded its Robo FSD into mobile robotics based on its automotive expertise. The company said this will enable intelligent robots to achieve autonomous point-to-point movement in a variety of scenarios.
Robotic components are progressively improved.
In addition to its digital LiDAR lineup, RoboSense has unveiled several new components to suit a variety of robotics needs.
- FS-3D: Force sensor optimized for legged robots
- LA-8000: High power density linear motors designed for robotic hip and knee joints
- DC-G1: Domain controller supporting real-time recognition, multi-mode large models, implemented intelligent operations, and advanced motion control algorithms
RoboSense plans to display its newly launched products at CES in booth 6700 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
