On September 9th, RoboSense (RoboSense Technologies Co., Ltd.) announced that its flagship digital LiDAR product, EMX, officially began mass shipments to multiple automotive customers. This milestone marks the full-scale production phase for all products within its new-generation in-vehicle digital LiDAR platform, the EM Platform (encompassing EMX, EM4, and customized versions).

As a "true 192-line" in-vehicle primary LiDAR, EMX is specifically designed for the L2-level advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) market. Meanwhile, EM4 stands out as the industry's only mass-producible ultra-500-line digital LiDAR, offering customization options ranging from 520 to 2160 lines to meet the demands of high-level autonomous driving scenarios.

The full-scale production of the EM Platform not only solidifies RoboSense's first-mover advantage and delivery capabilities in the digital LiDAR sector but also provides robust support for the widespread adoption of automotive intelligence technologies and the commercial operation of autonomous driving.

Leveraging breakthroughs in full-stack chipization and comprehensive digitalization, RoboSense launched the EM4 and EMX products in January and April of this year, respectively. Within a mere six months of their release, these products have secured design wins for 45 vehicle models from 8 leading global automakers.

Specifically, EMX has garnered design wins from both domestic and international automakers, including Geely Auto Group, FAW Hongqi, a prominent Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer, one of Japan's top 3 automakers, and the Chinese joint venture of Europe's largest automotive company. Similarly, EM4 has also secured design wins from multiple domestic and international automakers and has been successfully applied in mass production in several flagship models.

For L2-level high-end ADAS applications, EMX, with its "true 192-line" configuration, represents the optimal performance solution for next-generation intelligent vehicle models. It boasts a high-definition point cloud output capacity of 2.88 million points per second, a global angular resolution of 0.08°×0.1°, a maximum detection range of 300 meters, and a maximum frame rate of 20Hz. Highly integrated, it is currently the most compact in-vehicle digital primary LiDAR available.

For higher-level L3 and L4 autonomous driving, EM4 adopts an SPAD-SoC (Single Photon Avalanche Diode - System on Chip) and VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) digital architecture. It features a ranging capability of 300m@10% reflectivity and a maximum detection range of 600 meters, providing robust perceptual support for autonomous driving systems.

Based on comprehensive digitalization, the EM Platform supports customizable designs. EMX caters to demands below 500 lines, offering customizable solutions such as 192-line, 256-line, and 384-line configurations. EM4, on the other hand, targets ultra-high-definition perceptual needs above 500 lines, providing customizable technical solutions ranging from 520 to 2160 lines.

Currently, the EM Platform, in combination with RoboSense's only mass-producible all-solid-state digital LiDAR, E1, forms a golden combination that comprehensively covers the ADAS and Robotaxi markets.

RoboSense's long-term commitment and strategic foresight in technological innovation and chipization strategies have enabled it to embark on chip-based exploration of core LiDAR technologies as early as 2017. By 2024, it has achieved self-developed capabilities across the entire chain, from laser emission and scanning control to signal reception and processing, and obtained AEC-Q100 automotive-grade reliability certification, establishing a solid technological barrier.

Among these achievements, the successful self-development and mass production of the large-area SPAD-SoC chip are particularly noteworthy. This chip highly integrates the receiving system and echo recognition functions, significantly streamlining the system architecture, reducing power consumption, and better ensuring information integrity.

Additionally, RoboSense continues to iterate and develop its self-developed chips, enabling continuous performance improvements and cost optimizations for LiDAR. This has established a generational advantage in the digital LiDAR field and positioned RoboSense as a leader in achieving automotive-grade mass production and large-scale delivery.

With platform products such as E1, EM4, and EMX successively entering mass production and delivery, RoboSense continues to set milestones as the "industry's only mass-producible" solution, solidifying its first-mover advantage and delivery stronghold in the digital era.
