RPLIDAR A3 - 360 Degree Laser Scanner Development Kit

DUCTION

Ranging 16000 Times per Second

The sample rate of LIDAR directly decides whether the robot can build map quickly and accurately. RPLIDAR A3 improves the internal optical design and algorithm system to make the sample rate up to 16000 times, which is much better than most competitors.

Comparison under different working conditions

25 Meters Range Radius

With algorithm optimization, the ranging radius of RPLIDAR A3 has been increased to 25 meters, which means more environment outline information is to be collected

Indoor and Outdoor Availability

PLIDRA A3 supports to work under two modes alternatively: enhanced mode and outdoor mode . In enhanced mode, RPLIDAR A3 works with the maximum ranging radius and sampling rate to realize an optimistic mapping performance in indoor environments.

While in outdoor mode, RPLIDAR A3 works with a more reliable resistance to daylight interference. It keeps its stable performance when detecting white and black objects.

360 Degree Omnidirectional Laser Range Scanning

The ranging core of RPLIDAR A3 runs clockwise to perform a 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.

Brushless Motor, Low Noise, New Non-contact Drive

Compared with the traditional belt drive mode, RPLIDAR A3 uses the self-designed brushless motor to reduce the mechanical friction in running. Therefore, the RPLIDAR A3 can run smoothly without any noise.

RPLIDAR A3 adopts laser triangulation ranging principle, and with high-speed RPVision ranging engine, it measures distance data 16000 times per second and keep its excellent performance in a long distance.

OPTMAG Original Design, 5 Years Ultra-long Life

Most traditional non-solid LIDARs use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they only have thousands of hours of life due to mechanical wearing out. SLAMTEC has integrated the wireless power and optical communication technology to self-design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of the traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connection failure caused by the physical wearing out so as to prolong the life to 5 years and even more.

Laser Safety Standard Class 1

The RPLIDAR A3 system adopts the low power infrared laser light as its light source, and drives it by using modulated pulse. The laser emits light in a very short time frame which can ensure its safety to human and pets. It has already reached Class 1 Safety Standard.
