The VUX-120 LiDAR sensor developed by RIEGL for unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) has received the esteemed Wichmann Innovations Award in the hardware category, a recognition bestowed during the 2021 INTERGEO conference.
This lightweight and adaptable sensor garnered the award due to it’s exceptional performance, efficiency, and user-friendly design. The VUX-120 can be seamlessly integrated with various UAV platforms, including both fixed-wing aircraft and drones. Its cutting-edge NFB (nadir/forward/backward) scanning technique enables the effective capture of intricate and vertical structures.With a remarkably rapid data collection rate, this sensor is notably well-suited for high-point density mapping tasks at low altitudes, making it ideal for inspecting power lines, railway tracks, and pipelines.
