I want to mount my EAI YDLIDAR X4 360 Degree 2D LIDAR on one of the lower layers of my home robot. The LIDAR claims minimum ranging distance to be 0.12 meters (12cm), so if there are standoffs that hold the upper layers 1-2 cm from the unit will it cause a problem with localization or mapping?

ROS 2 Foxy Ubuntu 20.04 Server Raspberry Pi 3B+

It should not be a problem.

If it causes any issues, you can use laser_filters, more specifically look here: http://wiki.ros.org/laser_filters#Las...

This will remove all points within a box, by setting it to NaN
