ERA-LRF-HOK-UG01

Hokuyo URG-04LX-UG01 Laser Range Finder

Laser Rangefinders are an optional accessory for the ERA-MOBI mobile robot platform.  One of the best sensors for mobile robots is a scanning laser rangefinder.  These devices mechanically scan a laser beam, producing a distance map to nearby objects.  Videre Design offers three Hokuyo laser rangefinders that scan in a plane.

The Hokuyo URG-04LX-UG01 offers the lowest price/performance available of the three scanning laser range finder options.   It provides a detection range of 20-4,000mm, 240° scan angle, and an accuracy of 60-1,000mm: ±30mm. As with all of the Hokuyo laser range finders, it has low power consumption, a small profile, and minimal weight.
