Mid-360S is the latest-generation 3D LiDAR sensor from Livox, designed for mobile robots. Distributed in Poland and Europe by TPI, with local technical support and service. Its advanced hybrid rotating-mirror technology delivers full 360° spatial perception with high precision and reliability. A compact, lightweight build makes it easy to integrate across a wide range of robotic platforms, supporting stable navigation and obstacle avoidance both indoors and outdoors.

Unlike conventional mechanical LiDAR sensors, Mid-360S uses proprietary hybrid rotating-mirror technology. It delivers a horizontal field of view of 360° and a vertical field of view of 59°. Omnidirectional scene coverage lets mobile robots accurately perceive their surroundings from every direction — the foundation on which a robot plans its route and makes decisions.
Mid-360S packs serious performance into a small housing, making discreet integration easy and opening up new possibilities for sleek robotic platform designs — from AGVs to compact service robots.
Mid-360S next to a golf ball — actual size
Mid-360S detects objects from as close as 10 cm, delivering a virtually zero blind zone around the housing. Active anti-interference keeps performance stable even with multiple LiDAR sensors operating simultaneously in the same room, and sensor performance is unaffected by ambient light.
Minimum detection range, virtually no blind zone
Resistance to interference from other LiDAR sensors nearby
Stable range regardless of ambient light — day or night
Angular resolution improves as integration time increases:
0.1 s integration
0.5 s integration
2 s integration
Compared with 2D single-line LiDAR sensors, Mid-360S delivers advanced 3D perception that enables mobile robots to collect sufficient environmental data for mapping and positioning. This eliminates the need to modify the spatial environment and greatly improves efficiency. In addition, the angular resolution of Mid-360S improves significantly with integration time. This greatly enhances small-object detection to ensure safe operation.
Mid-360S is not affected by ambient light either indoors or outdoors. Its rich point cloud data assists mobile robots in navigation, obstacle avoidance and even detection classification — fully unlocking the potential of AI.
Mid-360S replaces a set of several 2D sensors with a single compact 3D module — it earns its place wherever weight, size and full scene coverage matter.
Mounted on multirotor platforms such as DJI Matrice 400, Mid-360S gives the aircraft real-time 3D awareness for terrain-following, making inspection flights safer.
Real-time LiDAR point cloud visualization gives clearer, more intuitive obstacle detection than FPV alone. That matters most with small obstacles or night operations, giving agricultural drone operators better situational awareness and safety.
Handheld systems — such as the Topcon CR-S2 — are one of the fastest-growing uses for sensors like the Livox Mid-360, pairing real-time SLAM positioning with dense, colorized point-cloud capture. Devices in this class share characteristic specs: up to 200,000 points per second and range up to 70 m at 80–90% reflectivity, with accuracy around 2 cm and single-operator use. Full horizontal coverage means the operator doesn't have to aim the head — they simply walk normally, and the point cloud builds up around them, vertically too: floor, walls and ceiling captured in one pass.
Typical applications include as-built documentation and scan-to-BIM, construction progress monitoring, underground space inventory, stockpile volume measurement, and rapid incident documentation. It's worth noting that mobile scanning carries trajectory drift — where single-point survey-grade accuracy is required, a static scanner or total station remains the right tool.
Mounted on AGV forklifts, Mid-360S delivers full 360° coverage around the vehicle, eliminating blind spots during loading and unloading in narrow warehouse aisles.
An IP67 housing at 265 g allows mounting on the cabin roof or a mast without modifying the load-bearing structure, while a built-in IMU and the Livox ROS Driver 2 shorten the path from prototype to production deployment.
The sensor handles perception and navigation — in applications subject to machine-safety requirements, it works alongside a certified safety scanner, not as a replacement for one.
In autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and in legged robots such as Unitree, the Mid-360 LiDAR head delivers dense 3D data for mapping and navigation, replacing a set of several 2D sensors with a single compact module mounted on top of the platform.
Full horizontal coverage eliminates blind spots around the robot, so the same sensor handles localization, obstacle detection and docking — without adding directional sensors and without cross-calibrating several devices at different mounting heights. The tall vertical field of view matters especially on quadruped platforms: with every step the robot’s body rocks in pitch and roll, and a planar LiDAR loses its reference to the surroundings. The Mid-360 keeps both the floor and overhead structures continuously in view, which makes it possible to guide the robot over stairs, gratings and uneven technical terrain.
In inspection robots, Livox Mid-360 removes the usual split between a “sensor for driving” and a “sensor for measuring”. The same head guides the platform around the site and, at the same time, records the point cloud that becomes documentation of the installation’s condition. For an integrator that means less hardware on board, a single data stream to synchronize and a lower unit cost per robot.
A 360° × 59° field of view covers everything around the platform with no blind spots — no array of directional sensors, no rotating head. A 0.1 m minimum detection range lets it work in tight passages and while docking. With a built-in IMU, an IP67 rating, 265 g and 65 × 65 × 60 mm, it fits even on a small platform.
Both share the same 360° platform — full spec-by-spec comparison below.
