RoboSense, a Chinese robotics perception company, has partnered with Origen, a UAE-based AI-native tech firm, to develop embodied and spatial intelligence systems for Middle Eastern industrial applications including smart cities, manufacturing, and robotics. RoboSense unveiled its second-generation E2 solid-state LiDAR platform at WAIC 2026, built on proprietary SPAD-SoC chips.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure, Sensors & Instrumentation and Robotics. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you build robots that need to see—or sell sensors to companies that do—RoboSense just opened the Middle Eastern market and proved there's a buyer for vertically-integrated perception stacks (chip to sensor to software). Watch who Origen deploys into: that's your customer list.
