At the CES2021 in January this year, RoboSense has officially unveiled the SOP version of the automotive-grade LiDAR RS-LiDAR-M1, which features a slim design, excellent performance, and reliable point cloud quality. Since July last year, the RS-LiDAR-M1 has successively received a number of orders for mass-production vehicle models around the world, among which, the first customer was an OEM from North America. In December last year, the RS-LiDAR-M1 samples were shipped to this OEM customer in batches, and became the world's first mass-production-ready automotive-grade MEMS solid-state LiDAR delivered.
Two days ago, Inceptio released the self-driving system "Xuanyuan" equipped with RoboSense solid-state LiDAR, and the two parties announced the partnership that the mass-produced L3 heavy-duty freight truck equipped with "Xuanyuan" system will be launched on the market by the end of 2021.
As a world-leading smart LiDAR supplier, RoboSense has reached in-depth cooperation with Inceptio from 2019 to provide high-performance automotive-grade MEMS solid-state LiDAR RS-LiDAR-M1 for Inceptio’s "Xuanyuan" system, the first full-stack self-developed autonomous trucking system for mass production. Inceptio develops the ULRS (ultra-long-range sensing), ARC (adaptive robust control) and FEAD (fuel-efficient autonomous driving) algorithms, and the ULRS can make the system perceive an ultra-long distance of up to 1,000 meters with a margin of error standing below 5%.
In June 2019, Inceptio has worked with Dongfeng Trucks and SINOTRUK respectively to developed L3 autonomous heavy-duty trucks. By the end of 2021, the mass-produced L3 heavy-duty trucks equipped with Inceptio’s "Xuanyuan" system with RoboSense LiDAR inside will be delivered to clients.

Bial Reports Topline Results From ACTIVATE Phase 2b Study in GBA‑Associated Parkinson’s9.6.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Press release
Bial, an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on neurosciences and rare diseases, announced today that the Phase 2b ACTIVATE study of BIA 28-6156 (pariceract) in patients with Parkinson’s who have a pathogenic variant in the GBA1 gene (GBA-PD) did not meet its primary, nor the key secondary efficacy endpoints, meaning that BIA 28-6156 failed to slow the progression of GBA-PD versus placebo. BIA 28-6156 proved to be generally well tolerated in the study, with no unexpected safety concerns arising. While the study data provide valuable scientific information and contribute to a broader understanding of Parkinson’s biology, BIA 28-6156 did not demonstrate significant differentiation from placebo on the primary or key secondary endpoints measured. Based on the lack of demonstrated efficacy in this study, Bial has made the decision to discontinue further development of BIA 28-6156 for this indication. “We are disappointed with the outcome of the Phase 2b ACTIVATE study, as th

Signaloid to Preview New ASIC and Demo of Its UxHw ® Technology at Bosch Connected World9.6.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Press release
British computing technology company Signaloid will preview its C0-ASIC for physical AI this week at Bosch Connected World, taking place from 10th-11th June, in Berlin. Designed for robotics, industrial automation, and probabilistic AI workloads, the ASIC is projected to deliver up to 1000× better performance-per-Watt than existing state-of-the-art approaches. Signaloid’s distribution-extended compute hardware (UxHw®) is already available for use in physical AI/robotics as a family of hardware modules, as well as via a virtualization- and binary-translation-based solution. UxHw enables autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to improve their navigation algorithms for safer and faster navigation in factories. It similarly enables industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to achieve better predictive maintenance. Why Physical AI and robotics needs different compute Many of the important algorithms enabling robotics and AI today require compute-intensive GPUs or similar hardware. They ofte
