HOKUYO URG-04LX
Laser Range Finder
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. |
Features
- 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.
Applications
Environmental recognition by autonomic robot
 |
Invader detection for buildings
 |
Automatic doors/Analyzing of human behavioral characteristic
 |
Obstacle detection for AGV
