Description

The RoboSense Helios 16 is a high-performance, multi-beam time-of-flight (ToF) LiDAR sensor engineered for demanding perception applications. It utilizes 16 synchronized 905nm laser beams to generate a dense 3D point cloud with a vertical field of view of 30° and full 360° horizontal coverage. The sensor delivers precise distance measurements up to 150 meters under typical conditions, with a near-field blind zone of only 0.2 meters for reliable close-range detection.

Designed for system integration, the Helios 16 outputs data via a standard 100Base-T1 Ethernet interface using UDP packet protocol, compatible with most robotics and vehicle computing platforms. Its ruggedized housing meets IP67/IP6K9K ingress protection standards, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions including rain, dust, and extreme temperatures from -40°C to +60°C. Optional firmware-based denoising algorithms are available to mitigate the effects of atmospheric interference from rain, fog, and snow.

Key Features

  • High-Density Point Cloud: Generates up to 576,000 points per second with dual-return capability for detailed environmental mapping.
  • Precision Ranging: Achieves measurement accuracy of ±1cm across its operational range for reliable obstacle detection and localization.
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Housed in a compact, robust enclosure rated IP67/IP6K9K for water and dust resistance in challenging outdoor and industrial settings.
  • Wide Operating Temperature: Functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +60°C.
  • Flexible Data Output: Streams real-time point cloud data via 100Base-T1 Ethernet using UDP, facilitating easy integration with ROS, Autoware, and custom perception stacks.
  • Configurable Scanning Modes: Supports multiple rotational speeds (300/600/1200 RPM) corresponding to 5, 10, and 20Hz frame rates for balancing data rate and power consumption.
  • Optimized Power Profile: Consumes approximately 11W, making it suitable for mobile robotic and vehicle platforms.
  • Optional Environmental Denoising: Software-filtering capabilities available to reduce noise from precipitation and airborne particulates.

Applications

  • Perception and navigation stacks for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
  • Environmental modeling and obstacle detection for autonomous shuttles and last-mile delivery vehicles.
  • High-precision 3D mapping and surveying in construction, mining, and infrastructure inspection.
  • Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems for enhanced situational awareness at intersections and smart roadways.
  • Security and perimeter monitoring systems requiring volumetric intrusion detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the data output interface and protocol for the Helios 16 LiDAR?

The Helios 16 outputs real-time point cloud data via a standard 100Base-T1 Ethernet physical interface. The data is packaged and transmitted using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets, which is a common and efficient method for streaming sensor data to host systems like ROS-based computers or automotive ECUs.

What is the operating voltage range and typical power consumption?

The sensor accepts a wide input voltage range from 9V to 32V DC, making it compatible with common 12V and 24V vehicle and industrial power systems. Under typical operation, it consumes approximately 11 watts of power, which should be factored into the system's power budget.

How do I configure the frame rate and what are the available options?

The frame rate (and corresponding rotational speed) is configurable. The Helios 16 supports three standard modes: 5 Hz (300 RPM), 10 Hz (600 RPM), and 20 Hz (1200 RPM). The specific configuration method is typically handled via initialization commands sent to the sensor or through configuration files provided by RoboSense's software development kit (SDK).

What does the IP67/IP6K9K rating mean for environmental durability?

The IP67 rating certifies the sensor as dust-tight and protected against immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The supplementary IP6K9K rating indicates protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, making the unit suitable for the most demanding outdoor and automotive environments, including exposure to heavy rain and wash-down conditions.

Does the sensor require external calibration or have a built-in initialization sequence?

The Helios 16 undergoes factory calibration. Upon power-up, it executes an internal initialization and self-check sequence. For optimal performance, it is recommended to allow for a brief warm-up period, especially in extreme temperatures. User-level calibration is generally not required, but sensor alignment and mounting must be mechanically precise for accurate data in the target application.
