RoboSense Wins Exclusive LiDAR Deal for Baidu’s Next-Gen Apollo Go Robotaxi

RoboSense has secured an exclusive design win to provide its digital LiDAR suite for the next-generation Robotaxi fleet from Baidu’s Apollo Go, announced in a press release.

The factory-installed LiDAR system includes RoboSense’s EM4, described as the world’s only mass-produced thousand-beam-level digital LiDAR, and the E1, a fully solid-state digital LiDAR. Together, they deliver 360-degree, zero-blind-spot coverage required for Level 4 autonomous driving.

This agreement follows RoboSense’s recent deployment of the same LiDAR suite with the WeRide GXR Robotaxi. The EM4 and E1 combination has been positioned as a key component in enabling high-reliability autonomous mobility for large-scale robotaxi operations.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
