Unique scanning pattern is key
Unlike typical multi-line spinning LiDARs, this system uses a unique scanning method (non-repetitive scanning) by rotating a prism. As integration time increases, field coverage improves significantly, allowing for the acquisition of more detailed information within the field of view.
Scanning video
The figure below shows point cloud data of this product acquired at different integration times (0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, and 1 second) in non-repetitive scanning mode.
The figure below shows a comparison of the field coverage of this product under different integration time conditions in non-repetitive scanning mode with several Multi-line Spinning LiDARs currently commonly used on the market.
As can be seen from the figure, when the integration time is 0.1 seconds, the field of view coverage of this product is equivalent to that of a typical 32-line Multi-line Spinning LiDAR.
Furthermore, extending the integration time to 0.5 seconds increases the field of view coverage to approximately 70%, allowing it to cover most of the area within the field of view.
This outperforms typical 64-line Multi-line Spinning LiDARs.

Mid-360S
The Mid-360S is the successor to the MID-360, a compact 3D LiDAR capable of high-density sensing in a 360° all-around environment.
While retaining the features of the MID-360, such as its wide 360° x 59° field of view, high-density point cloud output of 200,000 points/second, robust IP67-compliant design, and built-in IMU (ICM-40609), the distance measurement range has been expanded.
It supports SLAM, navigation, and obstacle recognition in a wider range of environments.
Because the chassis size, weight, electrical specifications, and interface are the same as the MID-360, it is easy to replace existing systems, minimizing the burden of changes to mechanical design and software.
From proof-of-concept testing to commercial deployment, multi-unit configurations, and mass production applications, this is the standard model positioned as "the next step after the MID-360."
FOV: 360° x 59° (-7 to 52°)
MID-360 vs Mid-360S
The Mid-360S is a successor model to the MID-360, inheriting its basic performance, size, and interface while improving its distance measurement capabilities and cost-effectiveness.
It is easy to replace existing MID-360-equipped systems and reuse software assets, allowing for selection based on application and deployment scale.
Below, we compare the main specifications and price differences between the Mid-360S and the MID-360.

Key points for recruitment
- By placing MID-70 units on the front, back, left and right sides, obstacle detection is achieved at a low cost.
- While 2D-LiDAR has a wide FOV only in the horizontal direction, the MID-70 also has a wide FOV in the vertical direction (70.4° x 70.4°).
Abundant sample programs
Numerous sample programs using C, C++, and Python, as well as sample programs using ROS1/ROS2 for 3D map data creation, self-localization, object detection, and more, are available on GitHub and in our technical columns.
All of these sample software programs are free of charge, and their source code is also publicly available, allowing for quick evaluation of LiDAR.
