Gasgoo Munich-Willand's new smart robotic mower, the Willand H5 Pro, features RoboSense's fully solid-state digital LiDAR, the E2. This marks the first mass-produced application of the E2 since its global debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in July.
Built on RoboSense's in-house flagship SPAD-SoC chip—a fully solid-state, ultra-large array—the E2's rollout marks a critical milestone for the "Peacock" chip. It has completed the leap from silicon to product and finally to customer application, officially entering an accelerated phase of mass adoption.

As the industry's highest-spec SPAD array chip currently available for mass production, "Peacock" is built on RoboSense's "EOCENE" architecture. It integrates a 640×480 ultra-high-density SPAD array, reaching VGA-grade imaging standards. The LiDAR outputs semantic, intelligible 3D image data instead of sparse point clouds. This enables it to handle core tasks traditionally managed by standard and RGB-D cameras.
In terms of field of view, the Peacock achieves 180°×135°—a significant improvement over the 120°×90° typical of the previous generation of solid-state LiDAR. This FOV allows blind spots, low obstacles, and edge objects to be covered by a single sensor, eliminating the need to stitch together multiple units. With a minimum detection distance of less than 5 centimeters, it effectively delivers zero blind zones at close range.

Built on the "Peacock" chip, the E2 utilizes a fully solid-state architecture where signal transmission, reception, and data processing are all handled at the chip level. Compared to the E1, the E2 series offers a wider field of view in a compact body. It boosts maximum precision threefold and achieves a high point frequency. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including robotic mowers, humanoid robots, quadrupeds, and drones.
In the Willand Navimow H5 Pro, for instance, the E2 works with vision and network RTK to form the EFLS™ triple-fusion positioning system. This setup flexibly switches navigation strategies for challenging environments, such as shade or narrow passages. It provides 3D spatial data for precise mapping, stable navigation, and edge trimming.
RoboSense has successfully integrated the "Peacock" chip into Willand's established mass production system. Willand's products now cover more than 40 countries and regions, with the company rolling out its 1 millionth smart robotic mower this past April.
Beyond Willand, Mammotion recently unveiled its new flagship Mammotion 4 AWD series at the 2026 IFA, featuring a triple-fusion perception solution centered on RoboSense's digital LiDAR. Roborock, meanwhile, launched the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR, which combines digital LiDAR with a vision system to enable autonomous navigation without boundary wires or installed antennas. Additionally, Pudu Robotics introduced three robotic mowers—the GT3, GT5, and GT7. These are equipped with RoboSense's mid-to-long-range digital LiDAR, Fairy, targeting business parks and sports fields.
RoboSense now counts 9 of the world's top 10 robotic mower manufacturers as its clients and holds the number one spot in global LiDAR shipments for the sector. As the "Peacock" chip moves toward large-scale application, RoboSense is poised to widen that lead even further.
