Leddar Vu8 LiDAR sensor
The Leddar Vu8 is a compact, cost effective and versatile solid state LiDAR sensor for detection and ranging. Small and robust, the Vu8 detects and tracks multiple objects simultaneously in eight distinct segments within the sensor’s Field of View (FoV). Detecting objects up to 215m, the Vu8 uses a single fixed light source, which significantly increases it’s robustness and cost-efficiency compared to other LiDAR sensors. The Leddar Vu8 is available in 3 different configurations – Narrow, Medium and Wide Field of View.
The Leddar Vu8 is CE marked to provide assurance that it meets required European legislation.
