Livox Mid360S

The Livox Mid-360S is the next evolution of the proven Mid-360 – a compact 3D LiDAR sensor for mobile robotics, autonomous navigation and precise SLAM. With a full 360° horizontal and 59° vertical field of view, it captures its surroundings seamlessly and in real time at up to 200,000 points per second.

Its refined hybrid solid-state architecture with a rotating mirror delivers more uniform point clouds, stronger interference immunity and more stable localization. With a minimum detection range of just 10 cm, an IP67-rated housing and an operating range of –20 °C to +55 °C, the Mid-360S is built for demanding indoor and outdoor applications.

What's new in the Mid-360S?

• Improved point cloud quality and higher reliability compared to earlier MID-series models
• Stronger interference suppression – even with multiple LiDARs operating side by side, in bright sunlight or near reflective surfaces
• 100 m cut-off range
• Unchanged housing dimensions: existing Mid-360 mounts and enclosures still fit
• M12 connector moved 2 mm inward and 3 mm upward – more room for cable routing

Ideal for:

• Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in warehousing, production and logistics
• Service robots, e.g. for cleaning, delivery or customer interaction
• Autonomous forklifts and industrial vehicles
• Real-time obstacle detection and collision avoidance
• 3D mapping, digital twins and capture of buildings and construction sites
• SLAM applications for reliable localization – indoors and outdoors

Compared with conventional single-line 2D laser scanners, the Mid-360S captures far more environmental features. Reflectors, markers or structural modifications are usually not required for mapping and localization. Thanks to its non-repetitive scan pattern, resolution increases with integration time – so even small and flat obstacles are reliably detected.

The ideal choice for anyone who relies on dependable sensing and top performance.

Mid-360 vs. Mid-360S

Integration Notes

• Point cloud data between 0.1 m and 0.2 m is output but, according to Livox, should be treated as reference only – accuracy is not guaranteed in this close range.
• For operation below 0 °C, size the power supply for the peak load of up to 14 W in self-heating mode.
• Keep the detection area around the sensor unobstructed when mounting; various mounting orientations are supported.
• Firmware, user manual and 3D/FOV models are model-specific – use only the Mid-360S files from Livox for the Mid-360S.
