Do you need 40m for an indoor application?

Is there a sensor range you want to target around? Its easier to get good recommendations when there are some requirements involved.

Actually, range < 12m is more reasonable, I was thinking of purchasing the YDLIDAR X4 (sample video).

It's A bit over your price change, but I really like my rplidar. It has a high scan rate and a good degree of accuracy.

I have used two that comes up to my mind;

  1. EAIBOT/ydlidar
  2. Slamtec/rplidar_ros

Both of these are close to your budget , it might exceed a little depending on your supplier

Hi, What about precise (±2cm) indoor navigation system (Indoor "GPS") that is designed to provide real-time location coordinates for autonomous robots, vehicles, AR and VR system. The solution based on ultrasonic beacons.

For accuracy ±2cm, the price (https://marvelmind.com/product/starte...) is quite adequate. Lidar is great solution for "freeze" environment, not for real life.

The purpose of this site is try to help/guide the questions asked by users considering their requirements. The OP is clearly asking for LIDAR.

Does your product have ROS support ?

If OP wants to do collision avoidance, this so called "indoor GPS" will be doomed
