The First Fully Solid-State Digital LiDAR for Robots
Product Overview
E1R is a new-generation, fully solid-state digital LiDAR based on the automotive-grade E platform. Equipped with a 120°×90° ultra-wide FOV and proprietary solid-state architecture, it combines high performance, compact design and automotive-grade reliability. Capable of real-time detection of object size, contour, and distance, E1R empowers robots to excel in obstacle avoidance, mapping, and navigation tasks.
E1R has been mass-produced and is already in practical applications, supporting various types of robots operating seamlessly in diverse lighting conditions. It enables robots to perform tasks from close-range precision sensing to wide-area environmental detection, significantly enhancing their operational efficiency and safety across a wide range of scenarios.
E1R is not only compact and lightweight but also features a small, flat, and flush light-emitting window with no protrusions. This design ensures flexible integration into various robotic structures. Additionally, the device comes equipped with a 1/4-inch threaded mount, making it compatible with a wide range of photographic accessories, facilitating robot development and debugging.
E1R offers an ultra-wide 120° × 90° field of view (FOV), delivering comprehensive and precise perception capabilities for advanced autonomous navigation and decision-making. With a ranging capability of 30m@10% and a maximum detection range of 75m—over seven times that of conventional depth cameras. E1R ensures early detection of distant objects. This enables precise target identification and effective obstacle avoidance, making it an ideal solution for a variety of robotic applications.
It mainly includes the following components:
- Protective Cover：Both the emitted laser and returned laser need to pass through the speciallydesigned arc-shaped protective cover. Therefore, any obstruction within the laser’s fieldof view (FOV) is strictly prohibited.
- Aviation Connector：The LiDAR body is connected to the interface box via an aviation connector, enablingpower supply and data transmission functionalities.
- Mounting Holes：Used to support and fix the position and orientation between the LiDAR and thebracket, it enhances installation efficiency and accuracy.
- M3 Screw Mounting Holes：Used to secure the LiDAR to the mounting bracket with M3 screws.
FOV Distribution
E1R delivers up to 260,000 points per second with 144-beam neatly structured point clouds, enabling precise detection of various dynamic and static small obstacles. It excels in efficient 3D mapping, accurately reconstructing environments such as roads, courtyards, warehouses, and ports.
E1R is equipped with RoboSense’s self-developed, world-first digital SPAD-SoC and 2D VCSEL chips. Benefiting from a streamlined digital signal processing and transmission pathway, E1R ensures lossless echo information and delivers high-quality point cloud outputs. Its fully chip-based solid-state design eliminates all moving parts, achieving breakthroughs in both performance and reliability. Currently, RoboSense is the only company in the industry to have successfully matured and mass-produced this technology.
