Robot LiDAR for ROS developers
The yahboom MS200 is a 360° time-of-flight LiDAR sensor designed for robotics projects that need full-circle distance mapping. It delivers a ranging span of 0.03-12m with a 4500 samples-per-second rate and adjustable 5-15Hz scanning frequency, making it suitable for SLAM navigation and obstacle avoidance on mobile platforms.
Step up from single-point rangefinders
This module replaces basic ultrasonic or infrared distance sensors when a robot requires a complete horizontal field of view for autonomous navigation. The jump is worth it for developers building ROS1 or ROS2 platforms that need continuous 2D scan data for mapping algorithms, rather than isolated point measurements.
Limited to 2D planar scanning
The sensor captures distance data in a single horizontal plane and cannot generate 3D point clouds or vertical obstacle profiles without mechanical tilting. Its IP5X rating resists dust but not water ingress, and the Type-C interface requires a separate cable for power and data, so integration depends on the host controller’s USB or UART capabilities.
