The Hokuyo URG-04LX-UG01 Scanning Laser Rangefinder is a small, affordable and accurate laser scanner that is perfect for robotic applications. The URG-04LX-UG01 is able to report ranges from 20 mm to 5600 mm (1 mm resolution) in a 240° arc (0.36° angular resolution). Its power consumption, 5 V 500 ma, allows it to be used on battery operated platforms. It is best for students and researchers who are involved in robotics.

Here, it comes with a 3D-printed adapter to mount the lidar on the top mounting plate of the Leo Rover, and with a miniUSB-USB and USB-miniUSB adapters to connect it to the top miniUSB connector.
