Hesai JT16 16-Channel Mini 3D LiDAR for Robotics & AMR

502,95 €

Hesai JT16 is a compact 16-channel mechanical 3D LiDAR for robotics and industrial automation. Its 360° horizontal × 40° vertical field of view supplies spatial measurements for mapping, localization and obstacle-perception development.

With 30 m ranging capability at 10% reflectivity, a 64 mm-high body and 4.3 W typical consumption, JT16 suits compact mobile platforms where sensor size and power matter. Select 5 or 10 Hz operation and integrate its RS485 output using model-specific wiring, serial settings and calibration files.


Features

  • 16-channel mechanical 3D sensing - Produces 3D spatial data through mechanical rotation for robotics and industrial perception systems.
  • 30 m ranging capability - Officially specified at 10% reflectivity for all channels; validate final performance against target reflectivity and operating conditions.
  • 360° × 40° field of view - Supports surrounding 3D perception beyond a single planar scan.
  • Selectable 5/10 Hz frame rate - Matches sensing update rate to the robot's motion profile and compute pipeline.
  • Defined angular resolution - Horizontal resolution is 0.6° at 5 Hz or 1.2° at 10 Hz; average vertical resolution is 2.67°.
  • 3 cm ranging precision and ±3 cm accuracy - Typical sensor values; these do not state the accuracy of a complete SLAM system.
  • RS485 data interface - Provides distance, azimuth, and reflectivity outputs for integration with supported host software.
  • Compact integration profile - 64 mm height and 199.7 g weight help suit embedded mobile equipment.
  • Class 1 eye-safe 905 nm laser - The official JT16 specification lists Class 1 eye safety and IP6K6 ingress protection.
  • Official integration files available - Resources include the user manual, quick-start guide, 3D model, angle correction file, LidarUtilities, SDK, and ROS driver.

Specifications above follow the linked JT16 J03-en-260120 manual. The 30 m ranging test uses normal incidence, 0–100 klux illumination and 50% probability of detection. The 0.15–100 m instrumented range is a separate quantity. Use documentation matching the delivered unit and firmware.


Applications

Official application illustrations show the installation contexts below. JT16 supplies measurement data; navigation and control functions are implemented by the host system.

Robotic Lawn Mowers

Use the 16-channel point cloud to describe obstacles at different heights around a mower. Check the mounting angle against the 0° to 40° vertical field of view, and evaluate grass, edges and obstacles with the complete navigation software.

Automated Guided Vehicles

Surrounding 3D measurements can support obstacle-perception and localization development on material-handling vehicles. Position the sensor so the vehicle structure and carried load do not block the area that needs to be observed.

Hesai JT16 official autonomous mobile robots application illustration

Autonomous Mobile Robots

Add three-dimensional geometry to an AMR mapping pipeline while retaining a small sensor envelope. Choose 5 or 10 Hz based on vehicle motion and the angular sampling required by the host software.

Service Robots

The compact form factor can be integrated into delivery and facility-service platforms. Plan optical clearance, cable routing and a stable 12–16 V supply; validate people and obstacle perception using the finished robot.

Industrial Equipment Integration

Compact machinery can use JT16 distance, azimuth and reflectivity measurements as input to a dedicated perception pipeline. Account for the specified environment, sensor mounting and maintenance access in the equipment design.

Research and Prototyping

Use the official SDK, ROS driver and angle-correction resources to evaluate point-cloud acquisition and mapping algorithms. The sensor supplies measurements; the selected host software determines the resulting perception and localization functions.


Integration Notes

Use the model-specific official user manual, quick-start guide, and angle correction file for wiring, mounting, and software configuration. The linked J03-en-260120 manual specifies RS485 at 3000000 baud for most software versions, while versions 00.B0.1 and 00.B0.5 use 3125000 baud; confirm the installed software version before commissioning.

JT16 is a component for a complete robot or industrial system. Validate final mounting, power supply, environmental conditions, safety design, and point-cloud processing on the intended platform.

The native sensor interface is RS485. A connection box with an Ethernet port is an integration accessory described in the manual; it does not change the native sensor interface or establish that the accessory is included.

FAQ

What is the difference between JT16 and JT32?

JT16 is the 16-channel model in Hesai's JT32/16 mini 3D LiDAR family. Hesai lists JT16 with a 30 m ranging capability and a 40° × 360° field of view; select a model based on the required channel count, coverage, resolution, and range for the final system.

What does the 30 m ranging capability mean?

Hesai specifies 30 m at 10% reflectivity for all JT16 channels. Actual detection performance depends on the target, weather, lighting, mounting, and complete system configuration.

Is the 0.15 to 100 m value a guaranteed detection range?

No. It is the official instrumented range. Treat the separately stated 30 m ranging capability at 10% reflectivity as the relevant integration reference and validate your targets in the final environment.

What field of view does JT16 provide?

The official specification lists 360° horizontal coverage and 40° vertical coverage from 0° to 40°.

Which frame rates and angular resolutions are available?

JT16 supports 5 Hz and 10 Hz. Horizontal resolution is 0.6° at 5 Hz or 1.2° at 10 Hz, while average vertical resolution is 2.67°.

What interface does JT16 use?

The official specification lists RS485 data transmission. The linked J03-en-260120 manual lists 3000000 8-N-1 for most software versions and 3125000 baud for specified software versions; check the delivered unit and manual before setup.

Can JT16 be used with ROS and an SDK?

Hesai's official HesaiLidar SDK 2.0 and HesaiLidar ROS 2.0 repositories list JT16 support. Confirm your operating system, ROS distribution, serial settings, and angle correction file during integration.

Which configuration tools are available?

Hesai provides model-specific LidarUtilities downloads for Windows, Ubuntu 20.04, and Ubuntu 22.04, plus an angle correction file and 3D model through the official JT16 downloads page.

What environmental and power conditions are specified?

JT16 is specified for DC 12 to 16 V, 4.3 W typical power consumption, -20°C to 55°C operation, -40°C to 70°C storage, and IP6K6 ingress protection.

Is JT16 a complete navigation system?

No. JT16 is a LiDAR component. Navigation, obstacle avoidance, safety performance, and compliance depend on the complete robot or industrial system, integration method, software, and operating environment.
