About

About E1R

E1R is a fully solid-state digital lidar using a two-dimensional VCSEL emitter array, SPAD receiver architecture and electronic scanning without a rotating mechanism. It produces 144 scan lines across a 120-by-90-degree field of view, generating approximately 260,000 points per second with maximum detection range up to 75 metres.

The 70-by-35-by-75-millimetre sensor is designed for near-field perception, including blind-zone coverage, navigation, localisation and obstacle detection. IP67 and IP6K9K protection and an operating range from −40°C to 85°C support outdoor robots and industrial equipment. RoboSense has moved E1R into mass production for AMRs, delivery robots and other autonomous platforms.

Timeline

  • RoboSense named Navimow strategic partner for E1R LiDAR mower platforms

    2026-05-07 - Partnership - Navimow's H2 Series, i2 LiDAR and i2 LiDAR Pro use RoboSense's E1R fully solid-state digital LiDAR for localization, mapping, obstacle detection and autonomous navigation. E1R combines a 120° × 90° field of view with 144-channel perception and is designed to maintain performance across uneven terrain, strong sunlight and rain. At Navimow's millionth-mower ceremony, RoboSense was named its 2026–2027 Strategic Partner and received the 2025–2026 Outstanding Supplier Award.
