About this product
The Hesai JT16 is an ultra-compact 16-channel 360° LiDAR engineered for cost-sensitive mobile robots and AGV/AMR safety. At just Φ62 × H64 mm and 200 g, drawing only 4.3 W, it packs a full 360° horizontal × 40° vertical field of view into one of the smallest spinning-LiDAR form factors on the market — small and light enough to mount on compact service robots, forklifts, and delivery platforms.
It delivers a 30 m range at 10% reflectivity (up to 100 m on stronger targets) and streams 48,000 points/s for reliable, low-latency obstacle detection and navigation perception. Built on the same proven JT-series platform as the JT128, the JT16 is the entry point into Hesai robotics LiDAR for navigation, collision avoidance, and pedestrian safety on indoor and outdoor AMRs.
