YDLIDAR GS2 Linear array solid LiDAR Sensor

The YDLIDAR GS2 is a linear array solid-state LiDAR (referred to as GS2), based on the triangulation principle. It features advanced optics, electrical components, and algorithm design to provide high-precision laser distance measurements across a 100-degree range. The GS2 outputs point cloud data of the scanning environment and is ideal for applications such as robot obstacle avoidance, path planning, and more.

Applications:

1. Robot obstacle avoidance
2. Obstacle avoidance of smart equipment
3. Navigation and obstacle avoidance of home service robots/vacuum clean robots

Features: 

1. High accuracy, stable performance
2. High resolution of ranging angle, up to 0.6 degrees
3. Good obstacle avoidance effect, the smallest object with a diameter of 3mm can be
   detected
4. Wide detection range, no blind zone in combination, FOV up to 100 degrees
5. Small detection range blind area, detectable distance is 25mm~300mm
6. Class I eye safety
7. 10000h Service life
