The system converts physical environments into high-fidelity 3D digital spaces for robot training, world model development, and immersive content creation. The **Kosmo One** camera integrates 8K lidar, a one-inch imaging sensor, and inertial measurement units, achieving millimeter-level geometric accuracy. Hesai claims it can scan a 100-square-meter indoor space in about 15 minutes with a single operator, processing data up to five times faster than comparable tools, though results vary by scene complexity.\n\nHesai demonstrated Kosmo’s efficiency in a **Dairy Queen** deployment, reducing manual modeling time from 300 hours to 15 minutes. A robot’s task success rate improved to 99%, with failures dropping to one-tenth of previous levels. The company also highlighted cost savings in filmmaking—scanning and reconstructing a 10,000-square-meter European streetscape takes one week with Kosmo, compared to two months for traditional set-building. For world models, a single scan yields over 10,000 training trajectories, offering 100x more data at lower cost than manual collection. Strategic partnerships include **Galbot**, **Dexmal**, **Pixar’s RenderMan**, and **Amap**, with applications spanning robotics, film, and location services.","keyPoints":["Kosmo combines **Kosmo One** camera and **Kosmo World** cloud to digitize real-world spaces for robot training","Scanning a 100-square-meter space takes 15 minutes, with 5x faster processing than competitors, per Hesai","Dairy Queen deployment cut manual modeling time from 300 hours to 15 minutes, improving robot success rate to 99%"],"whyItMatters":"Kosmo addresses a bottleneck in Physical AI: affordable, high-fidelity real-world data for training.
