About Hokuyo Automatic Co., Ltd.
Hokuyo Automatic manufactures scanning range sensors, photoelectric devices and optical data-transmission equipment for industrial automation. Its compact laser rangefinders are used on mobile robots and automated guided vehicles for obstacle detection, localisation inputs and monitored safety areas.
Hokuyo supplies sensing and communications components rather than complete navigation or mobile-robot systems. Coverage, precision and safe use depend on the exact model, mounting, environment and host controller.
