3D Lidar Mid-360 Pioneers a New Era of 360° Stereoscopic Perception with Hybrid Solid-State Lidar

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. specialises in electronic component sales and recycling services. With its extensive product selection, precise supply chain management, and comprehensive technical support, it has become a significant force in the electronic component recycling and distribution sector.

The company currently supplies and recycles the MID-360 3D LiDAR, featuring a 360° omnidirectional field of view, a minimum blind spot of 10 centimetres, and active anti-interference capabilities, specifically designed for service robots.

MID-360 3D Lidar: The Ideal Choice for Service Robots

In the field of intelligent robotics, precise environmental perception is crucial for achieving efficient and safe operation. As a sensor specifically engineered for service robots, the MID-360 3D Lidar delivers robust environmental awareness through its exceptional performance characteristics.

360° Omnidirectional Field of View for Comprehensive Environmental Perception

The MID-360 employs Livox's unique hybrid solid-state technology with rotating mirrors. It achieves an unprecedented 360° horizontal field of view and a 59° vertical field of view. This comprehensive, ultra-wide coverage enables service robots to perceive their three-dimensional surroundings without blind spots, providing comprehensive and accurate point cloud data for path planning and decision-making. Whether navigating intricate indoor spaces or expansive outdoor environments, the robot promptly detects obstacles and target objects in all directions, enabling rational action decisions.

10cm minimum detection distance for precise close-range object sensing

The MID-360 achieves a minimum detection distance of just 10 centimetres. Its compact form factor facilitates embedded installation, enabling seamless blind-spot-free coverage. This capability is crucial for service robots performing close-range operations—such as object grasping, wall-following navigation, or manoeuvring in confined spaces—ensuring precise detection of nearby objects to prevent collisions and guarantee operational accuracy and safety.

Active anti-interference capability ensures stable operation

In practical applications, service robots frequently encounter complex environments where multiple LiDAR signals coexist, such as large warehouses or shopping centres with dense foot traffic and equipment. The MID-360 incorporates active anti-interference design, effectively mitigating signal interference between multiple LiDAR units. This enables stable operation even in such challenging settings, guaranteeing data accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, this LiDAR remains unaffected by ambient light conditions, delivering consistent, outstanding performance whether deployed in brightly lit outdoor settings or dimly lit indoor environments. It can detect objects with 80% reflectivity at distances up to 70 metres, providing stable perception capabilities for robots across varying illumination scenarios.

Specifically engineered for service robots, empowering intelligent upgrades

The MID-360's design comprehensively addresses service robot requirements. Its compact dimensions (65×65×60mm) and lightweight construction (265g) facilitate flexible mounting on robots, offering greater possibilities for integrated aesthetic design. It supports multiple development environments and programming languages, including Linux, Windows, ROS, C/C++, and Python. Sample algorithms for SLAM mapping, navigation, and obstacle avoidance are provided, enabling developers to get started quickly and significantly improving development efficiency.

With its 360° omnidirectional field of view, 10cm minimum blind zone, and active anti-interference capabilities, the MID-360 3D LiDAR stands as an ideal perception device for service robots. It empowers comprehensive upgrades in intelligent perception, precise operation, and stable performance, providing robust technical support for the widespread application of service robots across diverse fields.
