A high-resolution mid-range LiDAR for 3D perception, robotics, and autonomous systems

  • Range at 10% reflectivity: up to 90 m in 1024 mode at 10 Hz.
  • Range at 80% reflectivity: up to 170 m.
  • Maximum representable range: 250 m.
  • Field of view: 44° vertical and 360° horizontal.
  • Minimum range: 0.0 m (with configurable options depending on the selected mode).
  • Native color point cloud: RGB-D data with native spatial and temporal alignment.
  • Configurable resolution: 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 horizontally.
  • Available vertical channels: 32, 64, or 128.
  • Configurable frequency: from 5 to 40 Hz.
  • Up to 2 returns: with multiple return ordering modes.
  • Synchronous IMU: 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer.
  • Compact format: 87 mm diameter for a weight starting at 500 g.

The OS1 REV8 is positioned for applications seeking a good balance between range, resolution, and point cloud density. Its 44° vertical field of view and mid-range performance make it a relevant sensor for platforms that need to perceive both their nearby environment and more distant objects, without switching to a bulkier LiDAR or one aimed at very long-range use.

The REV8 generation adds native color, L4 architecture, and a more integrated perception chain

The REV8 family introduces a major evolution in Ouster’s perception chain, with an approach that combines native color, 3D data fused directly inside the sensor, and low latency. The goal is to provide a more usable foundation for robotic vision, multimodal perception, and Physical AI workflows.

  • Native color: the REV8 generation introduces a native color lidar with an RGB-D point cloud.
  • 3D / color alignment: spatial and temporal consistency between geometry and color.
  • Color depth: up to 48 bits total, or 16 bits per channel.
  • Dynamic range: 116 dB.
  • L4 Ouster Silicon architecture: up to 42.9 GMACS of processing power announced across the REV8 family.
  • Photon throughput: up to 20 trillion photons per second highlighted by Ouster for REV8.
  • Color science: an approach developed with DXOMARK and Fujifilm Color Science.

For an R&D team, these elements reinforce the value of the OS1 REV8 in workflows that combine 3D geometry, color, localization, sensor fusion, and scene analysis. The positioning of the sensor is especially relevant when perception must remain usable for both navigation, inspection, and environment modeling.

Mobile robotics, autonomous vehicles, mapping, smart infrastructure: relevant use cases for the Ouster OS1 REV8

The Ouster OS1 REV8 LiDAR is suited to projects where the goal is to combine mid-range performance, high resolution, and rich data output. It is designed for systems that need to observe the environment with enough detail for perception while retaining useful range for more distant detection.

  • Mobile robotics: navigation, obstacle avoidance, localization, and onboard perception.
  • Autonomous vehicles: object detection, scene understanding, and mid-range perception.
  • Mapping: acquisition of dense point clouds with native color data.
  • Smart infrastructure: scene analysis, environment monitoring, and outdoor perception.
  • Drones and special robots: 3D reconstruction, inspection, and onboard perception.
  • Research and development: integration into workflows with ROS 2, ROS, MATLAB, NVIDIA Driveworks, NVIDIA Isaac, and Isaac Sim.

In an integration context, the OS1 REV8 features UDP over gigabit Ethernet output, an HTTPS API control interface, as well as functions such as the on-sensor 3D Zone Monitor, multi-sensor phase lock, azimuth masking, minimum range adjustment, and a low-power standby mode. It can therefore serve as a working base for navigation, zone monitoring, sensor fusion, or robotic vision projects.
