RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 360 Degree Laser Scanner Kit - 12m Range - Seeedstudio 114992561

The RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 is a 2Dlaser scannerfrom Slamtec. The device can perform360°scans at adistance of up to 12 m. The resulting 2D point cloud can be used for mapping, localization and modeling of individual objects or surroundings. The operating frequency of the RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 is 5.5 Hz sampling 360 points per revolution. The product is a laser measurement system based on triangulation. It can be used in locations where there is no direct sunlight.

RPLiDAR Laser Scanner A1M8-R6 360 degree - 12 m.

The RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 rotates clockwise while performing a 360-degree, omni-directional laser scan of its surroundings. It then generates a contour map of the object or its surroundings using hardware support.

• The RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 is based on the principle of laser triangulation. Uses hardware support for image processing developed by Slamtec
• Measures distance data more than 8000 times per second
• Omnidirectional laser scanning 360 degrees
• Very high sampling rate
• Optmag solution using optical communication technology for long lifetime
• Configurable scanning speed from 2 Hz to 10 Hz
• Applications in navigation and robotics projects
• The scanner is a plug and play device that connects to a computer via a microUSB cable. It is integrated with the ROS platform.
