What to look for in a forward-facing LiDAR sensor?

1. Dirt and debris can cause the system to malfunction. Keep LiDAR sensor clean to ensure accurate obstacle detection.
2. LiDAR works automatically in moderately lit environments, but will not work properly in bright light. Pay attention to lighting conditions to maintain flight safety.

What benefits does the forward-facing LiDAR sensor provide?

1. Improved obstacle detection at night: Even in extremely dark conditions, when ambient lighting is less than 0.1 lux and the vision system becomes ineffective, forward-facing LiDAR can still enable obstacle detection. This allows the drone to detect objects and stop in time even at night.
2. Safer RTH at night: during night RTH operations, if the vision system is ineffective, the drone can use forward-facing LiDAR to detect obstacles and navigate upward to avoid them*, making return flight safer.

*If the drone reaches the height limit while avoiding obstacles, it will stop at that height.
