Introduction
The Livox Mid-70 is a high-performance LiDAR sensor that can be used for multiple applications including autonomous
driving, industrial robots, indoor and outdoor service robots, or any robots used in special applications. Specically,
the Mid-70 can be used with automated guided vehicles (AGV), autonomous mobile robots (AMR), automated trucks,
medical logistics robots, cleaning robots, terminal delivery robots, and intelligent security robots. The Livox Mid-70 can
detect objects as close as 0.05 meters away, and has a detection range of up to 260 meters.
Wide FOV: Compared with Mid-40, the Mid-70 has a larger circular eld of view (FOV) of 70.4°, increasing its
ability to detect both near and distant objects.
Small Blind Zone: The blind zone of the Mid-70 is 5 cm, and the detection precision from 0.2 to 1 m is 3 cm.
Users can adjust the Mid-70 angle to completely eliminate the blind zone. It is recommended to embed the
Mid-70 in an automotive device before adjusting the angle.
Non-Repetitive Scanning Technology: Livox’s unique non-repetitive scanning technology ensures a high-
density point cloud, and can precisely detect every detail inside the FOV.
High Reliability: The Mid-70 oers enhanced reliability as the cutting-edge optoelectronic system design works
normally without rotating internal electronic devices such as a transmitter and receiver. The Mid-70 has undergone
rigorous reliability testing required by the automotive industry. In addition, the Mid-70 has achieved an IP67
waterproof and dustproof rating under GB 4208-2008 and IEC 60529 standards. Note the included cables and
mounting bracket do not meet the same standards.
User-Friendly Livox Viewer: Livox Viewer is a software specially designed for Livox LiDAR sensors. It displays
and records real-time point cloud data, replays point cloud videos, and analyzes the 3D point cloud data. Users
can set product parameters and calibrate extrinsics using Livox Viewer. The simple interface makes Livox
Viewer easy to use.
Open Source Livox SDK: a software development kit (SDK) is provided to help develop customizable applications
using the data acquired from the point cloud data. Livox SDK supports Windows/Linux/Mac OS/ROS.
• The Mid-70 has a detection range of up to 260 m, which can be reached when the target object reects
80% or more of light. For reference, grey concrete walls and roads have a reectivity range from 15%
to 30%, while white plaster walls have a reectivity range from 90% to 99% in an environment with a
temperature of 25° C (77° F).
• Before using for the first time, remove the screen protector from the optical window.
Product Characteristics
The Livox Mid-70 has a high coverage ratio due to its unique non-repetitive scanning technology. Over time, the
coverage inside the FOV increases signicantly and reveals more detailed information of the surroundings.
Figure 1.2.1 displays the typical point cloud patterns of the Livox Mid-70 over an extended period.
Figure 1.2.2 displays the FOV coverage of Mid-70 compared with traditional mechanical LiDAR sensors that
use common mechanical scanning methods. The diagram shows that when the integration time is 0.2 seconds,
the FOV coverage of the Livox Mid-70 is similar to a 32-line LiDAR sensor. As the integration time increases,
however, the FOV coverage of the Livox Mid-70 increases signicantly. After 1.5 seconds, the FOV coverage
approaches 86%, so almost all areas would be illuminated by laser beams. In this way, more details in the FOV
can be revealed.
