Benewake TF series LiDAR is a ranging sensor with small size, high accuracy, and high

measurement frequency. It can be used as an auxiliary landing and altitude holding sensor for

UAVs. The LiDAR can provide distance information and feed it back, then UAV can adjust the

descent speed or flight height in time.

Performance

It help customer manage the safety

height of UAV (0-100m) . No

manual work and more reliable

than GPS signal.

UAV Altitude Holding Application

It will alert automatically when UAV

reaches a particular level. The 5m

range LiDAR’s retail price is less

than 50USD.

It provide an accurate distance with

small spot. The installation is flexible

and simple because of the small

volume. Only 1/9 volume of radar.

The power consumption is generally

lower than 1W. Support Pixhawk,

plug and play.

Application Overview

LiDAR Sensor Advantages

When the UAV is flying at high altitude, the LiDAR outputs a maximum value or zero, and at this

time, GPS data is mainly accepted. When the UAV is rapidly descending, the distance data output

by the LiDAR gradually decreases from a large value, and the flight control system judges the

altitude from the ground based on the LiDAR data.

Case Study The real-time measuring ability of Benewake LiDAR is remarkable. Its’ FoV is small and the energy is concentrated, There is no mechanical movement structure inside with 1cm accuracy and reliability. Its’ life is more than 3 years. At present, Benewake LiDAR is widely used in UAV and aircraft for terrain following and altitude holding. Logistic UAV Patrol/Mapping UAV Flight Formation Driving School Coach Aircraft TF02-Pro is installed at the height of about 30cm below the multi-rotor UAV.
