About

About MID-70

MID-70 is Livox’s compact non-repetitive-scanning 3D lidar for low-speed autonomous vehicles and mobile robots. Its coaxial design produces a circular 70.4-degree field of view and detects objects from 5 cm away, supporting close-range perception in complex indoor and outdoor environments. Longer-range detection depends on the target: 90 m at 10% reflectivity and up to 260 m at 80% under 100 klx illumination.

The 580 g sensor produces 100,000 points per second in single-return mode or 200,000 with dual returns. It connects over 100 Mbps Ethernet with PTPv2, PPS and GPS synchronisation. Average power is 8 W, supplied directly at 10–15 V or through Converter 2.0 at 9–30 V. IP67 protection applies to the sensor itself, excluding the converter and cables.

Timeline

  • Livox MID-70 supports JD Logistics delivery vehicles in Changshu

    2020-12-01 - Deployment - A first batch of about 10 delivery vehicles entered daily operation in Changshu, Jiangsu, in October 2020. Several MID-70 sensors provided combined surrounding 3D perception for navigation and obstacle detection. Livox described the vehicles as an L4 system; the case study focuses on their delivery configuration and operating location.

  • Livox launches MID-70 lidar for low-speed autonomous vehicles

    2020-10-26 - Product Launch - MID-70 provides a 70.4-degree circular field of view and a 5 cm minimum detection distance. Gaussian Robotics had ordered 10,000 MID-70 units in July 2020 after evaluating the sensor. The launch price was US$799, with availability through DJI’s online shop; this is historical pricing.
