Lidar manufacturer RoboSense has launched its first automotive-grade solid-state LiDAR perception solution for L4 autonomous driving, the RS-Fusion-P6 (P6). The P6 is designed to enable autonomous vehicles to navigate complex driving scenarios and support rapid scale-out of commercial autonomous driving.

An automotive-grade solid-state lidar, the P6 integrates hardware based on two-dimensional MEMS scanning technology with AI.

RoboSense’s RS-Fusion-P6 solution is designed for a range of autonomous driving applications. It can be customised for different vehicle platforms, applications and autonomous driving scenarios.

Equipped with the four M-series solid-state lidars, the P6 offers dynamic switching and high-resolution long-distance detection capabilities, enabling intelligent perception over a 360-degree horizontal range, and allowing it to detect traffic conditions up to 200 meters away. The P6 can quickly process this data and provide feedback to the autonomous driving control centre, allowing the vehicle to react in milliseconds to any changes in the driving environment.

The P6 is equipped with RoboSense self-developed real-time point cloud perception software Perception. In challenging driving scenarios, such as mixed traffic and inclement weather conditions, the P6 is designed to accurately identify pedestrians, electric vehicles, cars, trucks, and other obstacles while tracking their speed, acceleration, and location.
