Validating LiDAR and Safety Laser Scanners for AGVs and AMRs

A practical guide to detection coverage and reliable vehicle operation.

Reliable mobile automation starts with validating how sensors perform on the installed vehicle. Mounting position, payloads, target materials and controller response can all affect operation.

Download Hokuyo USA’s free whitepaper for a structured approach to evaluating navigation LiDAR and safety laser scanners on automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

What you’ll learn

• How navigation, obstacle detection and personnel protection differ.
• How to check sensing coverage, scan-plane limitations and load-related obstructions.
• What to document when testing controller response, stopping behavior and fault recovery.
• How to use a commissioning matrix and diagnostic workflow to investigate interruptions.
• What information to prepare for a Hokuyo application review.

Created for controls engineers, robotics developers, equipment builders, system integrators and operations teams working with mobile automation.
