Livox

A lidar company incubated inside DJI; its Mid-360 is a common choice on robots.

Livox was founded in 2016, headquartered in Shenzhen; the company describes itself as an independent company created through DJI's internal incubation mechanism, focused on 3D lidar (sensors that emit laser pulses to measure distance and produce a surrounding point cloud). It keeps costs down using a rotating-mirror hybrid solid-state design with a non-repetitive scan pattern, launched its Mid series in January 2019, and says it has served more than 1,500 customers. Its most important product for the robotics community is the Mid-360: a 360° horizontal field of view, a built-in IMU, and a weight of about 265 grams, commonly mounted on quadrupeds, humanoids, and drones to run SLAM and lidar-inertial odometry methods such as FAST-LIO. Newer products include the kilometer-range Avia 2 and a lower-cost Mid-360S.

ExampleIn one of Livox's own case studies, a drone equipped with a Mid-360 navigates autonomously, flying fast through complex environments like forests while avoiding obstacles.
