3D Lidar Sensor
Panasonic Corp.Request Info
OSAKA, Japan, Oct. 6, 2017 — Panasonic Corp. has announced a 3D lidar sensor, enabling 3D detection of distances with a wide angle of view.
Employing propriety laser-scanning technology, the 3D lidar is capable of scanning the laser as wide as up to 60° vertically and 270° horizontally to achieve stable operation of autonomous robots. The wide scanning angle helps the detection of objects on the ground, as well as the roughness of the ground surface. In addition, the range of scanning angles and the resolution can be tailored precisely by adjusting the rotation angle and speed of the mirrors in the system. This feature gives users accuracy and flexibility to choose the most appropriate conditions for the measurement depending on their usage.
Applications include the development of autonomous robots that navigate inside or outside facilities with moving objects.
