With a range of up to 12 meters and a scanning frequency of 5.5 Hz, this sensor is perfect for robotics and drone applications, providing detailed point cloud data for advanced localization and modeling. ## Description Product description Description RPLIDAR A1 is a low cost 360 degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) developed by SLAMTEC. Most traditional non-solid LIDARs use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they only have thounds of hours of life due to mechanical wearing out. Slamtec has integrated the wireless power and optical communication technology to self- design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connecttion failure caused by the physical wearing out so as to prolong the life span. RPLIDAR is the designed sensor for applying SL AM algorithm, ideal for Robot Navigation and Localization. Plug and Play Just connecting the RPLIDAR and a computer via a micro USB cable, you can use the RPLIDAR without any coding job 1. Build-in serial port and USB interface 2. Open source SDK and tools 3. Integration with ROS RPLIDAR A1 is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellent in all kinds of indoor environment and outdoor environment without sunlight. Application Home service /cleaning robot navigation and localization General robot navigation and localization Smart toy’s localization and obstacle avoidance Environment scanning and 3D re-modeling General simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) Recommended Applications: Smart sweepers, household robots Specifications Measuring radius: 0.15m - 12m Sampling frequency: 8K Scanning frequency: 5.5Hz Angular resolution: ≤1° Mechanical Dimensions: 96.8x70.3 x 55mm Supply voltage: 5V Supply current: 100mA Power consumption: 0.5W Output: UART serial port (3.3V level) Range of working temperature: 0°C-40°C Scan range: 360° Ranging resolution ≤ 1% of the actual distance (ranging ≤ 12m) ≤ 2% of the actual distance (ranging 12m ~ 16m) Ranging accuracy 1% of the actual distance (≤3 m) 2% of the actual distance (3-5 m) 2.5% of the actual distance (5-12m) Package Included of A1M8-R6 1 X RPLIDAR A1（PWM motor driver embedded） 1 X Cable 1 X USB Adapter Measures distance data in more than 8000 times/s RPLIDAR A1’s scanning frequency reached 5.5 Hz when sampling 360 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10 Hz maximum. RPLIDAR A1 is based on laser triangulation ranging principle and uses high-speed vision acquisition and processing hardware developed by Slamtec. The system measures distance data in more than 8000 times per second. 360 degree 2D Omnidirectional Laser Range Scanning 360 Degree Omnidirectional Laser Range Scanning The core of RPLIDAR A1 runs clockwise to perform a 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outine map for the environment. OPTMAG Original Design, prolong the life-span Most traditional non-solid LIDARs use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they onlyhave thounds of hours of life due to mechanical wearing out. Slamtec has integrated the wireless power and optical communication technology to self design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connecttion failure caused by the physical wearing out So as to prolong the life span. Review: Amazing Technology. - This product worked great! It was a little difficult to get it up and running with a raspberry pi but just know that you will need to use Ubuntu. Also note that you will need a micro to usb cable and you might need multiple for some reason some cables worked and other did not. Review: Good Value - This is a very nice device for the price hard to use for new users ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07L89TT6F | | Brand | Stemedu | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 9 Reviews | | Manufacturer | Stemedu | | Mfr Part Number | LS | | Model Number | LS | | UPC | 747356633550 | | Voltage | 5 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Stemedu - **UPC:** 747356633550 - **Voltage:** 5 Volts ## Images ![RPLIDAR A1M8-R6 Sensor Laser Scanner Kit 360 Degree 2D 12M Distance Radar Sensor Module Range Finder for Robot Drone Omnidirectional Scanning, Update Version - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614GbEOn63L.jpg) ![RPLIDAR A1M8-R6 Sensor Laser Scanner Kit 360 Degree 2D 12M Distance Radar Sensor Module Range Finder for Robot Drone Omnidirectional Scanning, Update Version - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515DOoQ9a8L.jpg) ![RPLIDAR A1M8-R6 Sensor Laser Scanner Kit 360 Degree 2D 12M Distance Radar Sensor Module Range Finder for Robot Drone Omnidirectional Scanning, Update Version - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61enRW92cGL.jpg) ![RPLIDAR A1M8-R6 Sensor Laser Scanner Kit 360 Degree 2D 12M Distance Radar Sensor Module Range Finder for Robot Drone Omnidirectional Scanning, Update Version - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41hLhTiXIvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it include black little embedded board on the first picture of product as well?** A: Yes, the embedded board is included, the cable included too ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Technology. *by A***A on November 20, 2019* This product worked great! It was a little difficult to get it up and running with a raspberry pi but just know that you will need to use Ubuntu. Also note that you will need a micro to usb cable and you might need multiple for some reason some cables worked and other did not. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value *by P***S on February 5, 2020* This is a very nice device for the price hard to use for new users ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is cool! *by J***H on July 18, 2019* I returned this product because it did not work for my use-case. The seller gave me a full refund which was much appreciated! I will probably be purchasing many of these in the future once I get a platform that can carry it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/116533448-rplidar-a1m8-r6-sensor-laser-scanner-kit-360-degree-2d](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/116533448-rplidar-a1m8-r6-sensor-laser-scanner-kit-360-degree-2d) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
