TF-UW500 Underwater LiDAR Sensor – Redefining Precision Sensing Below the Surface
The TF-UW500 is the next generation of underwater single-point LiDAR designed for service robots, pool-cleaning robots, and underwater inspection devices. Based on a dToF (direct Time-of-Flight) architecture, it maintains the small size and low power consumption of the previous generation while achieving more than 10× longer ranging performance in low-turbidity water.
With TF-UW500, underwater robots can finally achieve precise mapping + stable positioning at the same time.
10× Ranging Distance – Expanding the Limits of Underwater Perception
Using a Class 1 eye-safe visible-light laser, TF-UW500 inherits all the natural advantages of LiDAR over traditional ultrasonic sensors:
-
Small, focused laser spot
-
Strong directionality
-
Wide usable incidence angle
-
Zero multipath interference
These strengths allow the sensor to maintain high accuracy even in complex underwater environments.
Key Performance:
-
Ranging distance: 0.1 m – 5 m
-
Field of View: 0.5°
-
Dimensions: 24 × 16 × 21 mm
-
Weight: < 5 g
Compact, powerful, and easy to integrate into any underwater robotic platform.
Full Mapping + Positioning Coverage
With centimeter-level accuracy and millimeter-level repeatability, TF-UW500 achieves exceptional distance-measurement performance.
It enables robots to perform complete coordinate-based mapping and localization in most private swimming pools, helping reduce inertial-navigation drift and improving movement stability.
This leads to straighter paths, fewer cleaning omissions, and higher task efficiency.
Precision Specs:
-
Repeatability: < 1 cm @ 1σ
-
Accuracy: < 3 cm (0.1–1 m); < 5 cm (> 1 m)
-
Operating temperature: 0°C ~ +50°C
Anti-Sunlight + Anti-Turbidity Performance
Underwater lasers often face severe degradation in bright sunlight and turbid water.
TF-UW500 solves this with dual-layer optimization:
✔ Hardware optical filtering
✔ Software anti-sunlight algorithms
In addition, we collected data from 10+ types of common pool materials with different reflectivity and surface treatments, integrating them into the calibration model to avoid unstable sensing or “side-to-side wobbling” behaviors in robots.
No matter the lighting or water quality, TF-UW500 maintains stable, reliable output.
