Slamtec RPLiDAR C1 - 360° laser scanner, 12 m, IP54

SLAMTEC RPLIDAR C1 - Fusion-DTOF LiDAR for precise 360° environmental scanning

The RPLIDAR C1 is a compact Fusion-DTOF (Direct Time of Flight) laser scanner for consumer and service robots. It combines highly detailed near-field detection with a range of up to 12 m (at 70% reflectivity) and delivers reliable 360° scans for mapping, navigation, localization, and obstacle avoidance.

Highlights at a glance

360° panoramic scanning for robust navigation and mapping in a wide variety of environments

Range: 0.05-12 m (white/70% reflectivity) and 0.05-6 m (black/10% reflectivity)

High measurement performance: 5 kHz sampling and 8-12 Hz scan frequency (typically 10 Hz)

Reliable in everyday use: anti-interference/anti-adhesion focus and tolerance of ambient light up to 40,000 lux

More data for better perception: position data plus reflectivity data and “2.5D” information for additional reference points

Eye-safe: Class 1 laser (infrared, lower power)

Easy integration: compact, low vibration and noise; TTL UART interface (460800)

SDK & ROS/ROS2: support for Windows/Linux (x86) and ARM Linux, including ROS/ROS2
