RoboSense, a developer of AI-driven automotive sensors, announced that its mass-producible digital LiDARs are now compatible with NVIDIA’s DRIVE AGX platform, a move expected to accelerate the deployment of autonomous driving technologies for automakers worldwide.
The integration makes RoboSense’s E1, EMX, and EM4 LiDARs available within the NVIDIA DRIVE ecosystem, providing high-definition 3D perception data to support the development of L2 to L4 autonomous driving systems. RoboSense said the EM4 is the only mass-produced digital main LiDAR with more than 500 beams, offering both long-range perception and near-field blind-spot coverage.
Mark Qiu, CEO of RoboSense, said the partnership “offers leading global automakers a choice for both mainstream and next-generation autonomous driving systems.” He added that joining the NVIDIA DRIVE ecosystem would “accelerate breakthroughs and upgrades across the global automotive sector.”
The collaboration is expected to streamline prototype development, simulation, and validation, allowing automakers to integrate advanced LiDAR sensors with AI-powered perception platforms more efficiently. RoboSense LiDARs are already featured in production models, including the Zeekr 9X and the next-generation IM LS6, demonstrating practical application in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform is designed to process LiDAR, camera, and other sensor data using AI algorithms, enabling real-time perception and decision-making for autonomous vehicles. With RoboSense’s high-performance sensors integrated, automakers can shorten development cycles and accelerate commercialization of autonomous vehicles, including Robotaxi applications.
