Hesai Powers Safety-Certified AI Autonomy for Smart Logistics with 3D Lidar at MODEX 2026

At MODEX 2026, Hesai Technology showcased its JT128 lidar powering Thoro.ai's safety-certified AI autonomy platform for smart logistics robots.

Window height
30 mm
Volume reduction
70% smaller than similar products
Field of view
360° × 187°

What Happened

Hesai Technology (NASDAQ: HSAI; HKEX: 2525) attended MODEX 2026 in Atlanta to showcase its latest 3D lidar solutions for smart logistics. The company highlighted its collaboration with Thoro.ai, a Pittsburgh-based robotics firm, to supply the high-performance JT128 mini 3D lidar. This sensor will power Thoro.ai's perception platform across various robotic applications, including the industry's first safety-certified AI autonomy platform for industrial and commercial robots.

The JT128 features the world's widest 360° × 187° ultra-hemispherical field of view, providing all-around perception with no blind spots. Its slim 30 mm window height and 70% smaller volume compared to similar products allow easy integration into machines of all sizes. The lidar is highly reliable in challenging environments with reflective surfaces and glass, and it has passed 28 reliability tests.

“At Thoro.ai, we think about each of these OEM partnerships not just as standalone projects, but as part of our CoreFlex autonomy architecture: a modular, safety-certified platform designed to scale across many machine types.”
— Patrick Mondi, CEO of Thoro.ai
