About LDROBOT
Shenzhen LDROBOT Co., Ltd. develops perception hardware and spatial-intelligence software for robots. Founded in 2017 and listed in Hong Kong in May 2026 as 01236.HK, it supplies dToF and triangulation LiDAR, stereo and four-camera vision modules, solid-state line sensors, ultrasonic sensing, visual SLAM and related mapping technology. Customers integrate these components into domestic, commercial, industrial and outdoor machines.
LDROBOT has also moved downstream into complete robotic lawn mowers through its own brands, creating a second operating lane alongside component supply. The shared technical layer is environmental perception: sensors capture range, depth and motion, while mapping and semantic software turn those inputs into boundaries, obstacles and navigable scene representations. Company-reported deployment, customer and patent counts cover the whole business and are not independent measures of individual product performance.
