Key capabilities
Drone Obstacle Avoidance & Sensing

HM-LD1-NV provides real-time 3D distance perception for drones, enabling obstacle detection and collision avoidance during flight. Its compact size and lightweight design make it suitable for UAV applications where weight, power consumption, and reliable perception are critical.

Robotics Obstacle Detection & Navigation

HM-LD1-NV helps robots understand their surroundings through real-time 3D depth sensing. It provides accurate distance information for obstacle detection, navigation assistance, and autonomous movement in complex environments.

Privacy-Preserving Human Sensing

HM-LD1-NV provides depth-based perception without capturing RGB images, helping protect user privacy in human-centric applications. By using 3D distance information, it enables presence detection, movement tracking, and human activity recognition while avoiding identifiable image data.

High-Precision Gesture Recognition

With high-resolution depth data and accurate distance measurement, HM-LD1-HV enables reliable hand and finger gesture recognition. The sensor captures 3D spatial information to support intuitive touchless interaction and next-generation human-machine interfaces.

FAQ

DToF LiDAR measures distance by calculating the flight time of laser pulses. With SPAD photon detection and VCSEL laser technology, it provides accurate and reliable 3D perception in different environments.

The PPS pin is a 3.3V rising edge sync input. Your host MCU generates a 1Hz trigger signal, and the sensor returns the relative milliseconds offset between each measurement and the latest sync event.

  • Without PPS trigger: the timestamp is absolute (time since power-up).
  • With PPS trigger: the timestamp is relative (offset < 1000ms).
  • The returned offset is always positive.

MRP DToF LiDAR helps reduce hardware and development costs through a compact design, low power consumption, open SDK support, and easy integration with platforms like Raspberry Pi and Jetson.

Our technical consultation supports product selection, hardware integration, SDK usage, ROS development, and application optimization, helping customers accelerate product development.

MRP provides SDKs, demos, and development resources. Connect the LiDAR through UART/UVC/UDP, access distance data, and integrate it into applications such as obstacle avoidance, navigation, and 3D perception.

What Our Customers Say

“I did some quick tests with the UVC sensor yesterday and I’m quite amazed by the data quality. It’s probably the best dToF I’ve tested in that segment.”

• Robotics Developer, Switzerland

“HM-LD1-NV is easy to integrate with our robotic platform. The point cloud quality and ranging performance are excellent.”

• System integrator, USA

“We needed a DToF sensor that could operate reliably under 30klux-70klux ambient light conditions. HM-LD1-NV 3D DToF LiDAR delivered strong outdoor light immunity, stable ranging, and multi-zone perception. After evaluation, we purchased 10 units for our robotics development projects.”

• R&D Manager, Germany

“We evaluated HM-LD1-NV 3D DToF LiDAR and were impressed by its performance, compact design, and affordable cost. The continuous development of the HM-LD1-NV SDK makes integration easier for robotics developers. Cost-effective 3D LiDAR solutions like HM-LD1-NV can help more teams adopt reliable 3D perception technology.”
