Guidance to help you shortlist. The basis is shown for each recommendation.

Robot obstacle avoidance and path planning

YDLIDAR lists robot obstacle avoidance, smart-equipment obstacle avoidance and home/vacuum robot navigation: an 80–85° line of points at 70–1000 mm, 0.54° resolution, objects down to 6 mm, no moving parts.

Manufacturer guidance

No-load speed, rated performance and stall limits describe different operating points. A stall specification is not a continuous operating rating.

Max range is the printed figure at the stated target reflectivity; accuracy is the typical datasheet value. Scan frequency is the default rotation or frame rate.

Specifications

Motor performance

No-load, rated-load and stall figures retain their separate test conditions.

Stall torque and current are not continuous ratings. Check the duty cycle and starting load when choosing the driver and power supply.

Thermal limits by level

Product operating conditions, chip ambient ratings, package case limits and junction maxima remain separate.

Product operating range
-10 to 50 °C

Mechanical dimensions
