SLAMTEC RPLiDAR A1M8 360 Degree Laser Range Finder – 6m (Radius Range)

From the shop's description

RPLiDAR A1M8 360 Degree Laser Range Finder – 6m (Radius Range) is a low-cost 360-degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. The system can perform a 360-degree scan within a 6-meter range . The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization, and object/environment modeling. RPLIDAR A1’s scanning frequency reached 5.5 Hz when sampling 360 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10 Hz maximum. RPLIDAR A1 is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellently in all kinds of indoor and outdoor environments without sunlight . Note: The range of this RPLiDAR is 6-meter if we are considering radius and 12-meter if we are considering diameter. So we can also name as RPLiDAR A1M8 360 Degree Laser Range Finder – 12M. Application: Home service /cleaning robot navigation and localization. General robot navigation and localization. Smart toy localization and obstacle avoidance. Environment scanning and 3D re-modeling. General simultaneous localization and mapping System Connection: Note: For the detailed description, find the datasheet in the attachments. Features: Measuring distance: Up to 6 meters (Radius). Measures distance data in more than 8000 times/s. 360 Degree Omnidirectional Laser Range Scanning. 8000 times sample rate, the highest in the current economical LIDAR industry. OPTMAG Original Design, prolong the lifespan. Configurable Scan Rate from 2-10Hz. Ideal for Robot Navigation and Localization. Plug and Play.
