Ouster Ultra-Wide FOV OS0 Lidar (Rev 8)

An ultra-wide LiDAR for close-range 3D perception, robotics, and automation

• Ultra-wide field of view: 90° vertical and 360° horizontal.
• Range on 10% reflectivity target: up to 35 m in 1024 at 10 Hz mode.
• Range on 80% reflectivity target: up to 75 m.
• Maximum representable range: 250 m.
• Minimum distance: 0.0 m.
• Native color point cloud: integrated RGB-D data.
• Configurable resolution: 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 horizontally.
• Available vertical channels: 32, 64, or 128.
• Configurable rotation rate: 5 to 40 Hz.
• Up to 2 returns: with multiple return ordering modes.
• Synchronous IMU: 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer.
• Compact form factor: 87 mm diameter with a weight starting from 500 g.

The OS0 REV8 is designed for applications where close-range perception, low-height obstacle detection, and vertical coverage are important. Its 90° field of view makes it particularly relevant for platforms operating in complex environments, for example in the immediate vicinity of the robot, in narrow areas, in industrial indoor spaces, or in scenarios requiring reliable detection of nearby obstacles, pallets, low structures, or suspended elements.

AMRs, AGVs, industrial robotics, drones: relevant use cases for the Ouster OS0 REV8

The Ouster OS0 REV8 LiDAR can be used in projects that combine an ultra-wide field of view, dense 3D perception, and a very short minimum range. It is well suited to systems that need to observe their immediate surroundings accurately while maintaining a configurable frequency and a data rate that remains usable in both development and operation.

• AMRs and AGVs: obstacle detection, local navigation, movement safety, and embedded perception.
• Industrial robotics: 3D perception for automation, inspection, and logistics environments.
• Drones and specialty robots: local mapping, proximity detection, and scene reconstruction.
• Autonomous vehicles: short-range perception with extensive vertical coverage.
• Mapping and digital twins: acquisition of dense point clouds with native color data.
• Research and development: integration into workflows with ROS 2, ROS, MATLAB, NVIDIA Driveworks, and Isaac Sim.

In an integration context, the OS0 REV8 features a UDP over gigabit Ethernet output, an HTTPS API control interface, and functions such as on-sensor 3D Zone Monitor, multi-sensor phase lock, azimuth masking, and a low-power standby mode. It can therefore serve as a solid foundation for projects involving navigation, sensor fusion, zone monitoring, or robotic vision.
