A modern full 360° rotating LIDAR (Light Imaging, Detection And Ranging) scanner unit for detection of obstacles through triangulation as an application in self-driving vehicles and robotics or in survey applications to create high-resolution maps.
This module can be used to investigate the basics of obstacle detection using laser-based optical systems to detect range and reflectivity of a remote object. The sensor unit is equipped with a focused modulated laser transmitter and receiver for high-speed measurement. It has a CAN databus interface for data exchange with external control units or the PC.
The unit can be controlled with the associated software. In addition, the measured points can be graphically displayed and evaluated.
