Hesai’s JT128 3D Lidar Powers Four Safety-Certified Robots with 360°×187° Coverage
Hesai will supply its JT128 mini 3D lidar to Thoro.ai’s safety-certified AI autonomy platform, powering four new autonomous mobile robots slated for release next year. The JT128’s 30 mm window height, 70% smaller volume and 360°×187° ultra-hemispherical field of view enable all-around perception across varied logistics workflows.
1. Partnership at MODEX 2026
Hesai Technology showcased its JT128 mini 3D lidar for smart logistics at MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, announcing a collaboration with Thoro.ai to integrate the sensor into its safety-certified AI autonomy platform.
2. JT128 Specifications
The JT128 features a slim 30 mm window height, a 70% smaller volume than competing products and a 360°×187° ultra-hemispherical field of view, delivering all-around perception with no blind spots even in challenging lighting conditions.
3. Upcoming Robot Deployments
Four new autonomous mobile robots powered by the JT128 are slated for release next year, covering workflows from material handling to cleaning and enabling true autonomous pallet handling with vertical awareness beneath forks and above rack beams.
4. Scalability and Market Implications
The integration highlights Thoro.ai’s CoreFlex architecture, which allows OEMs to launch safety-certified autonomy solutions across multiple robot types with reduced development costs and faster time to market, potentially boosting Hesai’s sensor adoption in smart logistics.
