Velarray M1600

Precise Near-Field Vision for Autonomy

Designed for autonomous applications in sidewalk, commercial and industrial settings, the Velarray M1600 provides outstanding near-field perception for safe navigation in diverse environmental conditions.

  • Solid state lidar
  • Enables touchless mobile and last-mile delivery robots to operate autonomously and safely, without human intervention
  • Perception data at a range from 0.1 to 30 meters and a broad 32-degree vertical field of view, supporting smooth operation in crowded areas
  • Ideal for sidewalks, commercial and industrial settings
  • Compact, embeddable form factor for seamless interior/exterior integration
  • Indoor/outdoor and day/night performance
  • Configurable frame rate and resolution
  • Built using Velodyne’s breakthrough micro-lidar array (MLA) architecture, a robust and reliable design for mass production

Expanding your robot’s future

The Velarray M1600’s optimal combination of data-rich resolution and broad field-of-view enables precise mapping and obstacle avoidance. The sensor enables robots to safely navigate crowded urban areas and corridors for delivery and security applications. Velarray M1600 will enable autonomous mobile robot operation include warehouses, retail centers, industrial plants, and medical facilities.

Sleek on the outside, rugged on the inside

Designed for functional safety and durability, the Velarray M1600 supports autonomous mobile robots in a wide variety of challenging environmental conditions, including temperature, lighting, and precipitation. With a durable design, this sensor is aesthetically well-suited for external mounting and easily embeddable in a robot’s sensor compartment.

Small and mighty

Micro Lidar Array (MLA) features Velodyne’s groundbreaking optical chip technology, with 8 lidar channels miniaturized to the size of a penny, that forms the “engine” of the lidar sensor. The MLA brings together the core elements that make lidar work: the optical chip and Velodyne’s ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) technology. The miniaturization combined with Velodyne’s proprietary, fully automated manufacturing process enables cost-effective, high-quality mass production.

Advancing sustainability

Velodyne sensors consume less power than other lidar sensors in their class, extending system operation range and reducing heat load. This  power efficiency bolsters sustainability across a wide array of applications.
