HESA Technology: Future robot LiDAR market may surpass automotive

On January 8th, Jinshi Data reported that facing a vast market space, players in the LiDAR industry are all expanding into the robot market. Judging from the actions of the leading manufacturers, Surestar and Juchuang have relatively aggressive performance. In addition to extending their robot LiDAR products, they are also developing dexterous hands. Hesai is more focused on the mobile robot field such as lawn mowers. Liu Xingwei, VP of Hesai Technology’s robot perception business, told reporters, ‘Currently, sweeping robots and lawn mowers are the first areas to achieve large-scale applications and take the lead in production. The new products released this time have already achieved mass production and delivery. In fact, we achieved monthly delivery of 100,000 units in December 2024, of which more than 20,000 were in the robot field.’ In Liu Xingwei’s view, robots of various forms will further enter into every household in the future. ‘In the mobile robot field, only the lawn mower robot market may have an application scale of millions of units. Considering that there will be other service-oriented robot markets in the future, the overall market scale is very likely to exceed the field of vehicle-mounted devices.’
