Laser Rangefinder for ERA-MOBI Order Form

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 two laser rangefinders that scan in a plane.

Hokuyo URG

The URG is a lightweight, low-power, lower-cost laser rangefinder.

SICK LMS 200

The SICK "blue box" is the standard for robotic sensing. It has long range and high accuracy, but is more expensive, heavier, and uses more power than the Hokuyo URG.

Range: 30m
Accuracy: +- 15mm (1 to 8m), +- 4cm (4 to 20m)
Field of view: 180 degrees
Angular resolution: 0.5 degrees
Max scan rate: 75 Hz
Power: 18W
Weight: 4.5 Kg
