Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system for a vehicle includes a light source configured to emit light and a scanner configured to direct the light to an environment of the vehicle. The scanner includes: a rigid body comprising one or more drive coils, a rotatable body comprising one or more magnets, the rotatable body connected to the rigid body via a connection body and a first flexure stage and a second flexure stage, wherein the first flexure stage and the second flexure stage are configured to oscillate in response to a force exerted on the one or more magnets when the one or more drive coils are driven, thereby causing the rotatable body to rotate, and a scan element configured to rotate via rotation of the rotatable body and to direct the light emitted by the light source to the environment of the vehicle.
