Hokuyo LiDAR
Hokuyo is a Japanese company specialized in sensors and automation technologies. They design 2D and 3D scanning laser rangefinders (LiDAR) to measure and map the sensor’s surroundings. They are widely used in mobile robotics and are fast and accurate. Reliable and very efficient, they are affordable and often chosen for advanced prototyping.
Main Hokuyo LIDAR Ranges
Hokuyo offers several ranges of LIDAR to meet the needs of different applications:
- UST series: This range of LIDAR includes compact and lightweight models for use in robotics and autonomous navigation applications. UST series LIDARs offer high resolution, low latency, and high measurement accuracy.
- UTM series: The UTM series includes more robust and durable LIDARs designed for use in harsh industrial environments. UTM series models are capable of measuring distances up to 30 meters with an accuracy of ± 30 mm.
- UXM series: This range of LIDAR is designed for surveillance and security applications. UXM series models offer a wide measuring range of up to 150 meters and high precision for detecting objects even in low-light conditions.
- URG series: URG series LIDARs are entry-level models designed for use in robotics and mapping applications. URG series models are compact, lightweight, and offer high resolution with low power consumption.
Light, compact, economical, and supporting up to 31 configurable detection areas: the Hokuyo UST-05LA laser range finder is most particularly intended for obstacle detection and localisation applications.
The Hokuyo YVT-35LX laser range finder – 3D LiDAR combines a multi-echo function and an on-board IMU sensor providing the most accurate 3D mapping outdoors, in all weather.
The Hokuyo UXM-30LAH-EWA laser range finder is one of the longer-range models from the Japanese LiDAR manufacturer. In ideal conditions, it can detect objects up to 120 m.
Specifically designed for indoor robotics, the Hokuyo UST-05LN LiDAR is a compact, lightweight, and very accurate obstacle detection sensor.
The Hokuyo PBS-03JN range finder is perfect for obstacle detection applications on autonomous mobile platforms. Small in form and light in weight, it integrates into any robotised systems.
Offering a scanning time almost four times faster than the URG-04LX telemeter, the Hokuyo UBG-04LX-F01 laser range finder remains very compact with a low power consumption.
So you thought it was impossible for a device to be even more powerful than the UST-10XL without sacrificing size? Well take a look at the Hokuyo UST-20LX Scanning Laser Range Finder: just as light, just as sturdy – but with much sharper vision!
Looking for a way to make your robot’s movements more precise? Do you want your mobile robot to be able to avoid obstacles and follow certain markers? By connecting a UST-10LX Scanning Laser Range Finder to your creation you will make it even more autonomous, even more responsive to its immediate surroundings!
The UTM-30LX-EW is a major evolution of the UTM-30LX. In addition to the 30m range, it features an Ethernet connectivity, a multi-echo functionnality and an IP67 casing for an outdoor use !
Laser range finder with a 30m range for indoor use. The UTM-30LX from Hokuyo allows getting accurate measures on a long range.
The most popular laser range finder from Hokuyo. Thousands of robots accross the world use this sensor recognised for its accuracy and its robustness.
