RoboSense Airy 192-Beam Hemispherical Digital LiDAR Sensor, 360°×90° FOV for Robots & SLAM

Overview

RoboSense Airy is a LiDAR sensor described as “The World’s First 192-Beam Hemispherical Digital LiDAR”. It delivers an ultra-wide hemispherical field of view (360° horizontal and 90° vertical) with up to a 60 m maximum range, and provides UDP packet output over Ethernet for real-time point cloud processing in robotics perception and SLAM workflows.

Compact in size (φ60mm×H63mm) and with low power consumption (<8W), Airy is designed for flexible integration where space, weight, and power budgets are limited.

Key Features

• Hemispherical FOV: 360°×90° (“Perfect hemispherical FOV”)

Details

Airy combines a compact form factor with a hemispherical field of view for robotics perception and SLAM.

Core performance at a glance: 360°×90° coverage, up to 192 beams, integrated IMU, and low power draw.

Designed for tight SWaP budgets, with a 60 mm diameter body and low power consumption for easier integration.

A ping-pong-ball size comparison highlights how easily Airy fits on mobile robots and sensor rigs.

Wide hemispherical coverage helps reduce blind spots for mapping, navigation, and obstacle avoidance.

High beam count and point rate support detailed, algorithm-friendly point clouds for real-time perception.

Consistent point cloud output supports SLAM across both indoor and outdoor environments.

Example point cloud density for recognizing object contours and structure in robotics applications.

Digital architecture with VCSEL emitters and SPAD-based reception helps streamline signal processing and integration.

Typical application scenarios include autonomous robots that need wide-FOV sensing for navigation and mapping.
