The RPLIDAR A3M1 is the next generation low cost 360 degree 2D laser scanner

(LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. It can take up to 16000 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 25-meter range. The

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

object/environment modeling.

Compared with RPLIDARs in other series, RPLIDAR A3M1 has a more stable

performance when detecting objects in long distance, objects in white or black

alternatively and objects under direct sunlight, which is ideal for map building in

the outdoor environment within a 25-meter ranging radius. Therefore, it can be

widely applied in many consumer-oriented business scenarios. RPLIDRA A3M1

supports to work under two modes alternatively: enhanced mode and outdoor

mode. In the enhanced mode, it works with the maximum ranging radius and

sampling rate to realize an optimistic mapping performance in the indoor

environments. While in the outdoor mode, RPLIDAR A3M1 works with a more

reliable resistance to daylight interference, which prevents it from “blind” in

outdoor environment.

The typical scanning frequency of RPLIDAR A3M1 is 10Hz(600rpm), and the

frequency can be freely adjusted within the 5-20Hz range according to the specific
