The use of 3D lidar technology improves the versatility and efficiency of robotic systems.
A Velodyne Lidar white paper outlines how lidar boosts the rapidly expanding autonomous robotics industry by providing real-time 3D perception data for localization, mapping, object classification and object tracking.
The white paper notes:
“Combining high-resolution image data with a broad vertical field of view, lidar detects the shape of even low reflectivity objects regardless of their material and movement. This perception capability is critical for advancing safe and effective operation within the broad range of industries that will be revolutionized by autonomous mobile robots.”
Velodyne 3D lidar sensors, including the Puck™ and Puck 32MR, increase the abilities of autonomous mobile robots to monitor and respond to their changing surroundings in both indoor and outdoor applications. These improvements are critical for achieving broad adoption because these robots must detect and classify objects at ranges that allow appropriate decision-making and safe, efficient navigation.
