1. A LiDAR assembly with modularized components, comprising:
an integrated transmitter-receiver module comprising a transmitter and a receiver both assembled on a first bracket, configured to:
emit optical signals to an environment surrounding the LiDAR assembly; and
detect returned optical signals from the environment;
a control module affixed on a printed circuit board (PCB), configured to control the integrated transmitter-receiver module to emit the optical signals;
an interface module affixed on a second bracket, configured to operatively couple the integrated transmitter-receiver module and the control module; and
a frame configured to position the integrated transmitter-receiver module, the control module, and the interface module at predetermined positions of the LiDAR assembly through the first bracket, the PCB, and the second bracket respectively, wherein the integrated transmitter-receiver module is configured to be assembled to or disassembled from the frame through guideways.
