Skyrocketing Demand, Hesai to Supply 10 Million Lidars to Dreame’s Robotic Lawn Mowing Ecosystem
The dream of never mowing the lawn again — while enjoying perfectly trimmed grass every day — is becoming a reality as smart robotic lawn mowers evolve into highly autonomous, intelligent robots. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global robotic lawn mower market is projected to grow from $1.48 billion in 2021 to $4.04 billion by 2028, reflecting rapid adoption driven by technological breakthroughs.
JT Series Lidar: The “Eyes” of Robotic Lawn Mowers
JT series is Hesai’s mini hyper-hemispherical lidar powered by Hesai’s second generation platform architecture. With a 360° × 40° ultra-wide field of view, it delivers true omnidirectional sensing for precise positioning and obstacle avoidance in complex outdoor environments, including the detection of children, pets, and small objects.
Specially developed for robotics applications, the JT series is designed to meet the unique demands of mobile platforms. Weighing just 200 grams, approximately 75% lighter than comparable products, it offers a highly lightweight and compact form factor that enables effortless integration onto robotic lawn mowers. This optimized design not only enhances overall agility but also reduces energy consumption, helping to extend battery life and support longer, more efficient operation.
Since lidar is also unaffected by ambient lighting conditions, the JT series can perform reliably in bright sunlight or complete darkness for around-the-clock operation. Its Intelligent Point Cloud Engine (IPE) removes up to 99.9% of interference from rain and fog, eliminating the need for additional rain sensors and enabling robotic lawn mowers to operate even in the most challenging weather conditions outdoors. Since its launch, over 300,000 units have been delivered, demonstrating its strong reliability and wide market adoption.
Largest Order in Lidar History: 10 Million Units
Hesai secured a record breaking 10 million unit order as the exclusive lidar supplier to Dreame’s and MOVA’s robotic lawn mowers within the Dreame ecosystem. This record-breaking order reflects the integration of lidar as a standard feature across all robotic lawn mowers within Dreame’s ecosystem, further substantiating that lidar is no longer a niche or luxury technology; rather, it is rapidly becoming a widely adopted sensor, increasingly integrated across millions of everyday environments.
Moreover, MOVA, a brand within the Dreame ecosystem, is another widely popular choice for robotic lawn mowers worldwide. Equipped with Hesai’s JT series lidar, MOVA robotic lawn mowers consistently lead the European market. At CES 2026, MOVA unveiled two new products: NAVAX AWD, designed for off-road terrain, and LiDAX Ultra, tailored for medium to small sized lawns. In 2025, Frost & Sullivan recognized MOVA as the top-selling brand worldwide for lidar-enabled robotic lawn mowers by sales volume, demonstrating its market leadership and growing international influence.
Empowering The Era of Physical AI
These partnerships are just one part of a rapidly expanding robotics ecosystem. Hesai’s lidar technology already powers hundreds of robotics applications beyond robotic lawn mowers such as last-mile delivery, service and cleaning robots, AGVs/AMRs, factory and port automation, agricultural machines, motion capture, passenger and freight mobility, stationary applications, and more.
The wave of Physical AI is already here with robots reaching a critical stage in understanding and interacting with the real world. As Physical AI continues to advance, Hesai will continue to build the foundational infrastructure that will power the next generation of intelligent systems.
