The Hokuyo UST-10LX is a logistic tool that can be used for automated guided vehicles or carts. This allows the cart to follow a safe route around obstacles like people and shelves. The LiDAR sensor is excellent for transporting materials and products quickly through a warehouse without collisions.

Use Cases

Autonomous Mobile Robots:

The Hokuyo UST-10LX is used on autonomous mobile robots to help autonomous mobile robots detect real-time obstacles and navigate their way around them efficiently, avoiding any obstacle on the way. The sensor can be programmed on a computer beforehand to follow preplanned routes, making automated navigation smoother for the robot overall.

Automated Guided Vehicles:

The Hokuyo UST-10LX laser sensor accurately measures the distance between objects and identifies the material type the object is made of. For example, the sensor could be used on an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) to help safely transport goods around a warehouse by distinguishing between different objects, such as pallets or boxes.

Automated Guided Carts:

Another application of the Hokuyo UST-10LX is automated guided carts (AGCs). It can accurately measure distances between moving objects to avoid potential hazards such as collisions or obstructions in its path.

Furthermore, it can be used for mapping out environments to ensure that AGCs navigate safely through unknown areas without encountering any unexpected obstacles along their route. This makes the sensor especially valuable for navigating crowded warehouses where multiple moving objects may be present at any given time.
