Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIERobot with LiDAR laser explores danger zones
Robotic systems use cameras to explore previously unknown terrain, buildings or danger zones. In the '3D-InAus' project, researchers at Fraunhofer FKIE are using a LiDAR laser on a moving robot that measures distances with laser pulses. Geometrically accurate 3D environments are created in the visualization.

The LiDAR laser is mounted on a rotating turntable. The laser scans a section of 16 vertical slices every second. The device emits a total of 1.3 million laser pulses per second. This creates a 3D point cloud of the surroundings. © Fraunhofer FKIE
