SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RoboSense (2498.HK), a pioneering AI-driven robotics technology company, has announced the scaled delivery of its digital LiDAR product EMX to multiple OEMs. This milestone marks the mass production of RoboSense’s next-generation automotive-grade digital LiDAR platform—the EM platform—covering EMX, EM4, and customized variants. The achievement establishes high-performance and high-reliability digital LiDAR as a mainstream sensor for premium intelligent vehicles, delivering enhanced safety and reliability for drivers worldwide.
The EMX, featuring 192 beams, is designed for the L2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) market. EM4, the industry’s only mass-producible LiDAR with over 500 beams, offers customization from 520 up to 2160 beams, tailored for higher-level autonomous driving. With the EM platform now in mass production, RoboSense reinforces its first-mover advantage in digital LiDAR technology and large-scale delivery.
In 2025, building on breakthroughs in full-stack chip development and digitalization, RoboSense introduced its EM platform for long-range LiDAR. The company launched two products under the platform—EM4 in January and EMX in April. In less than six months, the EM platform has secured design wins for 45 vehicle models across eight leading global OEMs, highlighting its strong market recognition.
EMX has been selected by multiple OEMs both in China and overseas, including Geely, FAW Hongqi, a China EV global leading OEM, one of the top three OEMs in Japan, and a China-based joint venture vehicle brand of the largest Europe OEM. Notably, it holds exclusive design wins for as many as 32 models from leading Chinese NEV makers. EM4 has also secured design wins with multiple global and domestic OEMs, including Geely, SAIC IM Motor, a Global top-tier EV pickup brand vehicle OEM, and a Sino-European joint venture between a tier 1 European luxury brand vehicle OEM. The EM4 is already in mass production across several flagship models from these OEMs.
In line with the accelerating adoption of L2 ADAS, the EMX, with its 192 beams configuration, delivers an optimal performance solution for next-generation intelligent vehicles. It outputs 2.88 million points per second, 0.08° × 0.1° global angular resolution, a maximum detection range of 300 meters, and a frame rate of up to 20Hz, and is the most compact automotive-grade digital main LiDAR on the industry.
For higher levels of autonomy such as L3 and L4, high-channel-count digital LiDAR is essential. The EM4, the industry’s only mass-producible LiDAR with more than 500 beams, adopts a SPAD-SoC and VCSEL digital architecture. It provides a ranging capability of 300m @10% reflectivity and a maximum detection range of 600 meters, making it the most powerful long-range automotive digital LiDAR available. EM4 offers robust perception support for autonomous driving systems, enabling up to a 70% improvement in response time.
Leveraging the high flexibility enabled by full digitalization, the EM platform supports customizable designs. EMX addresses demands below 500 beams, with configurable options such as 192, 256, and 384 beams. EM4, designed for ultra-high-resolution applications above 500 beams, offers customization ranging from 520 and 720 to 1080 beams, and even up to 2160 beams. Together with RoboSense’s E1—the world’s only mass-producible fully solid-state digital LiDAR—the EM platform forms a “ideal pairing” that fully covers both ADAS and Robotaxi markets, making it the preferred perception solution for leading OEMs seeking all-scenario coverage.
The EM platform’s recognition by global OEMs and Robotaxi companies stems from RoboSense’s long-standing commitment to technological innovation and its forward-looking chip strategy.
As early as 2017, RoboSense began exploring the chipization of LiDAR core technologies, establishing dedicated teams to advance this effort. By 2024, the company had achieved full in-house chip design capabilities across the entire LiDAR chain—from laser emission and scanning control to signal reception and processing. These chips have obtained AEC-Q100 automotive-grade reliability certification, building a solid technological moat for RoboSense.
The in-house development and mass production of the large-array SPAD-SoC chip has been crucial. By highly integrating the receiver system and echo recognition, the chip streamlines architecture, reduces power consumption, and ensures data integrity.
RoboSense continues to iterate its proprietary chips, enhancing performance and optimizing costs along a Moore’s Law-like trajectory. This provides a technological foundation for the company’s generational advantage in digital LiDAR, enabling automotive-grade mass production and scaled delivery.
With the E1, EM4, and EMX platforms entering mass production and delivery, RoboSense continues to set milestones as the industry’s only mass-producible digital LiDAR leader, reinforcing its first-mover advantage. This chip-level innovation will drive ongoing product iteration, accelerate global ADAS deployment, and expand autonomous driving commercialization.
