Developers, makers and enthusiasts building robotic
projects may be interested in a new enhanced LiDAR robotic navigation stem
which is now available from just US$ 79. LiDAR or Laser Imaging Detection and
Ranging system is a surveying method that measures the distance to a target by
illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected
pulses with a sensor.
The engineers and development team at Hybo have
created a new pocket-sized device for autonomous robots offering state-of-the-art
LiDAR scanning. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about its
features and functionality which sets it apart from other LiDAR devices
currently on the market.
iLidar is the first solid-state LiDAR sensor
specifically created for makers whether they are beginning their journey within
robotics or seasoned robotic developers. Designed to overcome the limitations
of traditional sensors iLidar offers cutting-edge LiDAR performance at an
unbeatable price, all in one compact sensor module.
LiDAR technology is used in a variety of home
appliances such as robotic vacuum cleaners, companion robots and unmanned
aerial vehicles or drones. With two main methods affordably available in the
form of 1D and 2D LiDAR. Unfortunately, 1D LiDAR sensors are only capable of
measuring the distance to one point providing limited functionality. While 2D
LiDAR is capable of scanning spaces in 2D most LiDAR sensors, require rotation
to sense distance on a line across an area. iLidar offers improvements and
enhancements over both without the need for any rotation, providing an
affordable next-generation LiDAR system created explicitly for the maker,
enthusiast and developer.
Offering incredible cost/performance ratio, the
iLidar device offers super speed sampling, SLAM embedded technology and a
super-wide line-laser depth sensor, making it even easier for your robot to
navigate its desired path autonomously. If you are interested in adding LiDAR
to your robotic project or application, you will be pleased to know that iLidar
has this week launched via Kickstarter and is now available with early bird pledges
from just US$ 79 with worldwide shipping expected to take place during August
2019.
Designed specifically for the maker or developer, a
number of early bird pledges are available with a special limited time price
available for one day only. Multiple packs are also available offering either 5
or 10 iLidar devices for larger projects, applications or educational
establishments.
