WAIC 2026 | RoboSense officially unveils second-generation all-solid-state perception platform E2. Edited by Betty From Gasgoo | July 17, 2026 19:08 BJT Gasgoo Munich- RoboSense has unveiled its second-generation all-solid-state perception platform, the E2, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC). Built on the company's in-house "Peacock" SPAD-SoC chip, the platform was showcased alongside a suite of digital LiDAR and fusion sensors powered by both the "Peacock" and "Phoenix" chips. The display maps out a complete technology chain spanning from underlying chips and spatial perception products to the acquisition of real-world data. The E2 platform leverages the in-house "Peacock" SPAD-SoC and 2D VCSEL chips to adopt an all-solid-state architecture, handling everything from signal transceiving to data processing at the chip level. Compared to its predecessor, the E1, the E2 series delivers a wider field of view within a more compact form factor. Precision has tripled, and the point frequency hits the million-level mark, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including lawn-mowing robots, humanoid robots, quadrupeds, and drones. Image Source: RoboSense The E2 has already secured orders from leading global players in yard robotics, smart hardware, and consumer electronics, moving swiftly into the mass-production phase. RoboSense has also forged partnerships with clients in the physical AI ecosystem, specifically those focused on spatial perception and real-world data acquisition. RoboSense also announced strategic alliances with BeingBeyond, Origen, and Lightwheel. These partnerships will focus on robotic spatial perception, real-world data collection, processing, model training, and application validation. Together, they aim to advance the infrastructure for physical AI perception, extending the reach from the "eye of the robot" to the data entry point for physical AI, accelerating RoboSense's evolution toward a robotics platform company. Centered on three core capabilities - in-house chip development, AI data closed-loops, and automotive-grade mass production - RoboSense is systematically building a robotic technology platform tailored for the physical AI era. At the heart of this evolution lies the chip, serving as the bedrock for continuous advancement in perception technology. On the AI integration front, robots equipped with RoboSense's perception products can generate computable and learnable data assets while moving and operating. This capability creates an efficient closed loop between the perception system and intelligent models, providing the high-quality data support needed for the continuous evolution of physical AI large models. In terms of engineering delivery, RoboSense draws on years of experience in automotive-grade R&D, testing, and manufacturing. The company has established a comprehensive system spanning chip design, product development, and large-scale delivery. This mature engineering capability is now expanding into the robotics sector, ensuring that new technologies transition rapidly from the laboratory to viable, deliverable industrial solutions rather than stalling at the prototype stage.
