livox_ros_driver
A ROS driver for Livox LiDAR devices (Mid-40, Mid-70, Tele-15, Horizon, Avia) to publish point cloud data.
What is livox_ros_driver?
Livox ROS Driver is a software package that enables Livox LiDAR sensors to communicate with the Robot Operating System (ROS). It acts as a bridge, allowing robots and autonomous systems to capture and process 3D point cloud data from Livox's Mid, Horizon, Tele, and Avia series LiDARs within the standard ROS messaging framework. It solves the problem of integrating proprietary Livox hardware into the open-source ROS ecosystem for development and research.
Robotics engineers, researchers, and developers working on autonomous vehicles, drones, or mobile robots who use ROS and require high-quality 3D LiDAR perception from Livox sensors.
Developers choose this driver because it is the official, maintained interface from Livox for ROS, ensuring hardware compatibility and access to advanced features like timestamp synchronization and multiple data formats. It provides a reliable foundation for building perception stacks without needing to write low-level device communication code.
Overview
Livox device driver under ros, support Lidar Mid-40, Mid-70, Tele-15, Horizon, Avia.
