摘要

For only $100, engineers and integrators can now purchase LiDAR systems for deployment on vehicles, robots, and drones, thanks to the release of the Velabit sensor from Velodyne (San Jose, CA, USA; www. velodynelidar.com). Revealed at CES 2020, the Velabit sensor employs an eye-safe 903 nm Class 1 laser and has a 2.4 × 2.4 × 1.38-inch footprint, which is smaller than a deck of cards. It has 100 m range, 60° horizontal field of view (FOV), 10° vertical FOV, and includes an Ethernet interface offering Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) support.
