Velodyne’s PUCK™ (VLP-16) sensor is smaller than the VLP-32 and VLP-64 and having new and advanced features. Vastly more cost-effective than similarly priced sensors, and developed with mass production in mind, it retains the key features of Velodyne’s breakthroughs in LiDAR: Real-time, 360°, 3D distance and calibrated reflectivity measurements.
