## Description

The YDLIDAR GS5 is a solid-state LiDAR sensor engineered to overcome the fragility of mechanical LiDARs in demanding environments. It offers over 10,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, featuring a 0.54° angular resolution and an 85° wide-angle field of view for comprehensive environmental perception. With an effective detection range spanning 70mm to 1000mm, this compact sensor (48.5mm × 25mm × 13.5mm) is designed for AGVs, service robots, and industrial automation. The GS5 maintains reliable performance, withstanding direct sunlight and vibrations while mapping obstacles with precision down to 6mm.

**Wide Application Compatibility**

The GS5’s 85° FOV provides broad coverage for comprehensive obstacle mapping, while its 70mm minimum blind zone ensures accurate close-range detection. The included Point Cloud Viewer software offers real-time visualization, data logging, and debugging, simplifying system integration and testing.

**High-Precision Distance Measurement**

With an exceptional angular resolution of 0.54°, the GS5 can detect objects as small as 6mm in diameter. It delivers multi-stage accuracy, maintaining =3% error within 70-300mm, =5% at 300-600mm, and =8% up to 1000mm. The sensor's stable performance under varying lighting conditions (resisting up to 25klux sunlight) ensures reliable operation in diverse environments.
