When it comes to autonomous localisation, navigation and LiDAR sensing, very few names in the world carry the weight of SLAMTEC — and it was a real privilege to sit down with SHIKAI CHEN, CEO of Shanghai SLAMTEC Co., Ltd., to explore the company's remarkable journey at the cutting edge of robotics.
Established in 2013 and headquartered in Shanghai, SLAMTEC was built around a core R&D team — originally formed in 2009 as RoboPeak — with deep specialisation in robot autonomous localisation, navigation algorithms and the core sensors that bring intelligent machines to life. More than a decade on, SLAMTEC stands today as one of the most influential pioneers in the service robot industry, powering products and platforms used by developers, manufacturers and innovators in over 20 countries across Asia, Europe and North America.
The company operates across three flagship product lines that have shaped the modern robotics landscape. RPLIDAR — the iconic 360-degree laser range scanner — has become the gold standard for affordable, high-performance LiDAR. SLAMWARE delivers a modular plug-and-play system for autonomous localisation and navigation, while the ZEUS general-purpose service robot platform gives manufacturers and integrators a ready-to-build foundation for next-generation robotic applications. Alongside this, SLAMTEC continues to push boundaries with industrial LiDAR (LPX-E3, LPX-T1), TOF LiDAR (C1, S2, S3), the Aurora 3D localisation and mapping series, and embodied intelligence platforms like the 48V Hermes.
