SF000 : The world’s smallest microLiDAR

LightWare makes microLiDAR history with the launch of the world’s smallest and lightest microLiDAR, the SF000.

Weighing just 8.8 grams and measuring less than a single inch – making it smaller than a pencil sharpener – the SF000 redefines the term ‘dynamite in small packages’, outperforming many larger models.

For instance, the greatest benefit of this miniature size means that the SF000 can fly for longer. Added to this, LightWare’s Phillip Constantine informs that the microLiDAR can be relied upon to deliver 388 readings per second, using a time-of-flight system to make super-fast, precise measurements of speed and distance.

Importantly, accuracy is not affected by the colour or texture of the surface being measured; nor is it impacted by the laser beam’s angle of incidence. Moreover, the SF000 is virtually immune to background light, wind and noise. “This makes it an ideal sensor for detecting unexpected obstacles,” Constantine points out.

The SF000 is also easy to use, he continues, read more
