Gasgoo learned on Jan. 8 that RoboSense released its latest delivery data: December deliveries of its digital lidar products topped 180,000 units — extending its run of industry records. The growth is driven by breakthroughs in its fully self-developed chip stack and the continued expansion of multi-scenario applications.

Built on a technology system that, globally, is the only one to implement self-developed chips across transmit, receive and processing — and certified to the AEC-Q automotive standards — its core SPAD-SoC sensor and two-dimensional addressable VCSEL architecture sharply reduce system complexity while boosting performance and ensuring high reliability and manufacturability. On that basis, its digital lidar product matrix has become the industry's only technology route to achieve mass production at scale, providing critical environmental perception for ADAS, robotaxis, unmanned delivery and a wide range of robotics applications.
In the OEM front-fit market, its EM platform products have been particularly strong. As of Nov. 25, it had secured design wins from 13 automakers covering 56 models — including SAIC Audi, IM Motors under SAIC, a North American EV maker, and joint-venture brands of leading European automakers. On Dec. 8, it added a new series-production front-fit nomination for a popular FAW Toyota model, with five-year cumulative orders near 1 million units. In the robotaxi segment, the EM4+E1 combo won a design win for Didi Autonomous Driving's next-generation model, supporting L4-level perception requirements.
Robotics applications have made breakthrough progress: the E1 all-solid-state lidar has been integrated into unmanned delivery vehicles and lawn-mowing robot platforms, with multiple product iterations and volume deployment already in unmanned delivery and commercial lawn-mowing robots.
Looking ahead, as nomination programs in North America and Europe move into series production, RoboSense's global market share is poised to rise further.
