The RPLIDAR A2 is the next generation low cost 360 degree 2D laser scanner

(LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. It can take up to 8000 samples of laser

ranging per second with high rotation speed. And equipped with SLAMTEC

patented OPTMAG technology, it breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR

system so as to work stably for a long time.

RPLIDAR A2M5/A2M6 is the enhanced version of 2D laser range scanner(LIDAR).

The system can perform 2D 360-degree scan within a 18-meter range. The

generated 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization and

object/environment modeling.

The typical scanning frequency of the RPLIDAR A2 is 10hz (600rpm). Under this

condition, the angular resolution will be 0.9°. And the actual scanning frequency

can be freely adjusted within the 5-15hz range according to the requirements of

users.

The RPLIDAR A2 adopts the low cost laser triangulation measurement system

developed by SLAMTEC, which makes the RPLIDAR A2 has excellent performance

in all kinds of indoor environment and outdoor environment without direct

sunlight exposure. Meanwhile, before leaving the factory, every RPLIDAR A2 has
