Lidar sensor for ROS robots
The Yahboom Silan A2 is a 360-degree laser scanner built for service robots and AGVs needing indoor navigation and obstacle avoidance. It delivers contour mapping of the surrounding environment using a low-power infrared laser rated to Class 1 eye-safety standards. The brushless motor removes belt drive friction for smooth, near-silent operation. This unit suits developers integrating SLAM into mobile platforms.
Measurement and scanning rates
Scanning frequency runs from 10 Hz to 20 Hz while the measurement frequency spans 8000 to 32000 samples per second. These bounds define how quickly the sensor refreshes a full 360-degree view and how dense each point cloud can be. Applications demanding faster map updates or finer angular resolution must stay within this window. Outdoor ranging or longer-distance TOF requirements fall outside the specified range.
Brushless drive and mounting implications
The direct-drive brushless motor eliminates the belt wear and audible whine common in first-generation units, so the scanner runs quietly during continuous operation. A compact rotating head means the sensor fits tight robot chassis without large radial clearance. The Class 1 laser removes the need for protective enclosures or interlocks in typical lab or warehouse settings. Integration relies on the host system providing power and a serial data link.

Questions about this item
Which RPLIDAR version should I choose for indoor or outdoor use?
The A2 model is part of a series that covers both indoor and outdoor scenarios; pick the variant that matches your ranging method and required measurement frequency.
What does the 32000 times per second measurement rate mean when the sensor is mounted on a robot?
It delivers up to 32000 distance samples every second while scanning at up to 20 Hz, giving dense point clouds for real-time mapping and obstacle avoidance.
How does the 360-degree scanning interface limit the data I can collect?
The rotating head completes a full 360-degree sweep at 10 to 20 Hz, so the practical update rate for a complete surroundings map is capped at the scanning frequency.
