Shenzhen Livox Technology Co., Ltd. 深圳市览沃科技有限公司
Shenzhen lidar maker incubated inside DJI; its Mid-360 hybrid solid-state lidar is a widely used navigation sensor on quadruped robots and AMRs.
Livox (Shenzhen Livox Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shenzhen-based developer and manufacturer of lidar sensors. The team was formed in 2016 as an internal incubation project at DJI, originally to give DJI its own lidar for industrial drones, and later spun out to operate independently while continuing to use DJI's supply chain, factories, production systems, procurement and after-sales operations. The current operating entity was registered in Shenzhen in March 2019 and is located in the Nanshan Cloud Valley Innovation Industrial Park on Liuxian Avenue, Nanshan District. Livox's main technical approach is rotating-mirror, hybrid solid-state lidar with a non-repetitive scanning pattern, which builds up point-cloud coverage over time and keeps unit cost well below that of traditional mechanical spinning lidar.
For robotics the most relevant product is the Mid-360, launched on 10 January 2023 and described by Livox as its lidar generation for low-speed robotics. The Mid-360 has a 360 by 59 degree field of view, a 0.1 m minimum detection range, a range of 40 m at 10 percent reflectivity and 70 m at 80 percent reflectivity, 40-line point-cloud density, a point rate of 200,000 points per second, a 65 x 65 x 60 mm housing and a weight of 265 g. It was launched at 749 US dollars per trial sample and is rated to work under 100 klux of direct sunlight and in multi-lidar environments. Livox targets it at SLAM, 3D mapping and localization, navigation, obstacle avoidance and pedestrian detection on AMRs, autonomous forklifts, service robots and low-speed unmanned vehicles. Its successor variants Mid-360S and Mid-360L are now listed on the site; the Mid-360S keeps the 360 x 59 degree field of view and 200,000 points per second with a 40 m typical range at 10 percent reflectivity and a 100 m cut-off.
The compact Mid-360 has become a widely used sensor on legged robots. Livox's own showcase describes DEEP Robotics' X30 industrial quadruped carrying four Mid-360 units for navigation and obstacle avoidance in power-station, factory and utility-tunnel inspection and emergency rescue, and Unitree's Go2 EDU quadruped is sold in configurations fitted with the Mid-360. Earlier, cleaning-robot maker Gausium agreed to buy more than 10,000 Livox lidars for low-speed robots.
Outside robotics Livox sells the Avia and Avia 2 and the Mid-70 for mapping and industrial uses, the TELE-15 long-range lidar, which Livox describes as the first 500 m range automotive lidar, and the automotive-grade HAP lidar, which entered series production on the Xpeng P5. It also publishes open-source software through its Livox-SDK GitHub organisation, including the LIO-Livox lidar-inertial odometry algorithm, a multi-lidar automatic extrinsic calibration tool and lidar distortion-removal code, which are frequently used in robot SLAM research.
