Hesai launches Kosmo One 8K AI spatial camera and Kosmo World 3D data platform
On October 14, Hesai Technology launched Kosmo, a 3D world data engine consisting of the handheld AI spatial camera Kosmo One and the AI-driven cloud platform Kosmo World. Kosmo One combines lidar, a 1-inch CMOS 8K imaging system and a high-precision IMU with microsecond-level synchronization; Hesai says a typical indoor scan of about 100 square meters takes roughly 15 minutes and that 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction plus a purpose-tuned ISP delivers millimeter-level geometric accuracy. Kosmo World uses AI semantic segmentation to extract objects as independently editable 3D assets and automatically completes unscanned regions. Hesai also announced strategic partnerships with Galbot and a second robotics firm and showed case studies with Pixar's RenderMan and Amap, with CEO Li Yifan saying the spatial intelligence market could eventually exceed the lidar market.
If spatial capture really becomes as easy as taking a photo, real-world 3D data could become a key upstream input for embodied AI and world-model training.
