URG-04LX

HOKUYO URG-04LX Robotics Laser

The HOKUYO URG-04LX is a state of the art laser range finder is suitable for next generation intelligent robots with an autonomous system and privacy security.

Suitable for autonomous service robots as a means of environment, and self-position recognition.

  • Indoor Environment

The Hokuyo URG-04LX Scanning laser range finder is a compact, affordable and accurate laser scanner designed for robotic applications. The URG-04LX is able to report ranges from 20mm to 4000mm (1mm resolution) in a 240° arc (0.36° angular resolution).

Its power consumption, 5V 500ma, makes it the natural choice for battery operated vehicles. The URG-04LX is supplied with diagnostic software and sensor cable.

  • High accuracy, high resolution and wide angle which provide the best solution for autonomous robots moving in the unknown environment.
  • Compact size allows more designing freedom.
  • Light weight and low power consumption contribute to the long time operations.
  • No influence by how bright the environment will be.
  • Excellent performance in darkness.
  • Recognizing human body's size and position without invading their privacy.
