RoboSense has been designated as an official long-term partner for many auto companies, and receiving orders for its RS-LiDAR-M1 (M1), RoboSense’s second-generation solid-state LiDAR, for a diverse range of mass-produced models since July 2020. These orders cover traditional automobile manufacturers and a supercar brand. Among them, GAC-Aion officially announced its plans to equip multiple models with RoboSense LiDAR in July this year.
The report also noted that mechanical LiDAR systems, including rotary and rotating mirror systems, have been losing market share since 2020 due to cost and reliability issues. It goes on to state that second-generation MEMS Smart LiDAR systems are entering the mainstream as its technology matures and cost gets more competitive.
World's first mass-produced automotive-grade solid-state LiDAR
RoboSense’s M1 employs advanced MEMS technologies. Launched in 2016 and with a demo prototype on the way next year, M1 was first shown at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2018 and won two CES Innovation Awards in 2019 and 2020.
With over five years of research and dozens of upgrades, M1 became the first product to have a mass-production version finalized. RoboSense began mass-produced automotive-grade production of M1 in Q2 2021, and has since delivered over ten batches for models through its long-term automobile manufacturer partnerships.
Exclusive smart “GAZE” functionalities
M1 boasts an exclusive smart functionality named “GAZE”, which dynamically improves resolution and frame rate based on the environment, enabling vehicles to zoom in and out and augmenting their perception.
M1 enhances central resolution and extends the range of identification from 150 to 200 meters on highways, so that the vehicle can detect distant road conditions earlier. On city roads, M1 increases the frame rate from 10Hz to 20Hz and scans obstacles – such as pedestrians, electric bicycles and traffic jams – at a higher frequency for stronger near-field detection.
A multi-sensor, LiDAR-centric solution is key for accuracy and detection safety, whose reliability is known as the first step towards safe smart mobility. As Chinese LiDAR companies continue making breakthroughs in the global march towards smart mobility, RoboSense has become a leader in China and will continue in its commitment to innovate and supply the global intelligent automotive value chain with LiDAR solutions, accelerating the evolution of smart mobility.

Former Nokia Technologies C-suite Executive Joins Sisvel to Lead Creation of New Ventures Unit27.10.2026 10:04:00 EET | Press release
Stavros Kyris has joined Sisvel to lead the formation of Sisvel Ventures, which has a wide-ranging remit to explore opportunities outside of Sisvel’s core areas of business. Kyris previously held a number of senior roles at Nokia and from 2019 until earlier this year was Chief Strategy, Financial and Operating Officer of Nokia Technologies. Before that, he spent five years as Chief of Staff to Nokia’s CEO, having formerly worked in corporate business development, strategy and M&A at the company. Sisvel Ventures will identify and develop IP-based business projects that do not sit within Sisvel’s established standard essential patent (SEP) pool licensing operation. It will draw on expertise within the broader company while functioning separately from it. Senior Sisvel executives Matteo Sabattini and Leonardo Saroni will join Kyris in building the new unit. “Sisvel Ventures is an exciting endeavour that I am delighted to help launch,” says Kyris. “Sisvel has a reputation for its bold, ent

Unframe Removes Another Barrier Between AI Capabilities and Adoption27.10.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Unframe, the Applied AI Lab, announced its availability on all three leading cloud marketplaces: AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace. For enterprises, cloud marketplaces have become the preferred channel for discovering and procuring software. AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft together serve the vast majority of enterprise cloud infrastructure worldwide. Their marketplaces represent a growing share of how organizations purchase technology by consolidating vendor relationships, simplifying contracting and allowing companies to apply existing cloud spend toward new solutions. Being listed across all three is now a key expectation for enterprise-grade software vendors. “Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between moving quickly on AI and working within the procurement and cloud frameworks they already have,” said Jacquelyn Goldberg, Global VP of Revenue at Unframe. “As an applied AI lab, our job is to close the gap between what AI can do and what enterprises
Ant Group Upgrades LingGuang to 2.0, Turning Its AI Assistant into a Proactive Personal Agent27.10.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Ant Group today announced the launch of LingGuang 2.0, an upgrade that transforms its multimodal AI assistant into a proactive personal agent capable of identifying user needs and managing tasks over time. Moving beyond passive, single-turn interactions, LingGuang 2.0 shifts AI assistance from responding to commands toward continuously identifying needs, following up on tasks, and coordinating everyday affairs on behalf of users. Unlike conventional conversational AI and task-oriented agents, LingGuang 2.0 moves the starting point of AI assistance earlier in the user’s workflow. Instead of waiting for users to issue a command, LingGuang can, with explicit user authorization, draw on connected information and services to spot potential needs, initiate analysis and follow-ups, and alert users when their attention is required. In this way, it evolves from a reactive tool into a personal agent that continuously manages tasks on the user’s behalf. This shift is powered by comprehensive upgr
