Hokuyo UST-05LN LiDAR

Hokuyo UST-05LN: report all obstacles up to 5 m

The Hokuyo UST-05LN LiDAR belongs to the new family of Hokuyo LiDARs dedicated to autonomous robotics. It is able to scan ranges up to 5m in a 270° arc at a scan speed of 25 msec.

The UST-05LN LiDAR triggers outputs when objects come within the scanning path. It can detect them with ±40 mm accuracy with a 0.5° pitch only. The USB interface allows you to connect it to your PC for setup and programming operations.

Ideal for your on-board navigation systems

Lightweight (130 g) and small (50 x 50 x 70 mm), the Hokuyo UST-05LN LiDAR easily integrates into any robotised systems.

Drawing a maximum of 150 mA (400 mA at start-up), it is powered by its own battery and can equip your mobile robot’s autonomous navigation system. It can be installed on your robotised systems to ensure an efficient obstacle detection.
