RoboSense E2
The RoboSense E2 is a fully solid-state digital LiDAR from the E-series, unveiled at WAIC 2026. It uses electronic scanning based on a 2D VCSEL array and a "Peacock" SPAD-SoC receiver (automotive-grade AEC-Q102), so it contains no moving mechanical parts.
The sensor provides a 180° × 135° field of view with 0.375° × 0.375° angular resolution, a range of up to 35 m at 10% reflectivity and 1 cm (1σ) accuracy. It generates up to 1.5 million points per second in dual-return mode at ≤5 W power draw and operates from -40°C to +85°C with vibration tolerance up to 50 G.
Compared with the previous generation, the E2 reduces size by 60%, weight by 40% and optical window area by 77%, and adds a built-in dual-camera design. The manufacturer targets it at humanoid robots, quadrupeds, drones, robotic lawn mowers and data-acquisition devices.

Which group RoboSense E2 belongs to and how it is built
3D LiDAR Sensors are a subcategory of sensing components that use laser radiation to measure distance and construct three-dimensional representations of the environment. These sensors are used in robotics for space mapping, localization, autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and building 3D perception systems. Depending on the model, they can provide point clouds with varying resolution, frequency, and range, supporting mobile robots, humanoid platforms, and autonomous systems.
Design class of LiDARs with no moving mechanical parts. Scanning is performed electronically (e.g. VCSEL array, SPAD-SoC, MEMS or flash). Offers higher shock and vibration tolerance and a compact form factor at the cost of a limited field of view compared to 360° spinning LiDARs.
