Gasgoo learned on Jan. 8 that Hesai Technology (NASDAQ: HSAI; HKEX: 2525) disclosed it ranked No.1 globally in 2025 by shipments of 3D LiDAR for lawn-mowing robots. At the just-opened CES 2026, the number of new mower models equipped with its 3D LiDAR also leads the industry.
At last year's CES, Hesai's JT series 3D LiDAR made its official debut; cumulative deliveries have since topped 200,000 units. The mini sensor can be discreetly installed, offers a 360° ultra-wide field of view and single-frame coverage of more than 10,000 square meters, enabling zero-blind-spot 3D perception. It can detect objects even when they are right up against the device, supporting core functions such as localization, navigation and obstacle avoidance for lawn-mowing robots.
At this year's CES, MOVA, Dreame, Nexlawn, KEENON, Orca and other brands unveiled around a dozen all-new lawn-mowing robots, all fitted with the JT series 3D LiDAR — the most new models in the category.

As a heavyweight in Europe's smart lawn-mower market, MOVA equips its entire mower lineup with Hesai's JT series LiDAR. Dreame, for its part, is among the first globally to scale LiDAR solutions in lawn-mowing robots; its LiDAR-equipped mowers ranked No.1 worldwide by sales from November 2024 to October 2025.
According to Emergen Research, the global smart lawn-mowing robot market reached $1.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to climb to $4.5 billion by 2034, an 11.5% compound annual growth rate. With 360° environmental sensing and high-precision 3D mapping, the JT series matches core needs such as wire-free boundaries, stable positioning and omnidirectional dynamic obstacle avoidance — making it a preferred solution for leading manufacturers worldwide.
