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.
The system can perform 2D 360-degree scan within a 12-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 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
passed the strict testing to ensure the laser output power meet the standards of
FDA Class I.
