Unitree Robotics says its new L2 4D lidar is an “ideal solution” for robotic vacuum cleaners, intelligent distribution systems, smart factories and more.
Unitree, a global robotics company that develops and sells high-performance robots for consumers and industry, has released an improved 4D lidar. The company's new L2 4D lidar offers a 200 percent increase in performance and costs just $419.
Key features of the updated lidar include:
- Point quota: Captures 64,000 points per second, synchronized and improved by 200 percent
- Distance resolution: Achieves 4.5mm precision, synchronizes and improves by 78 percent
- Field of view: Extensive coverage with an area of 360 degrees x 96 degrees, synchronized and improved by 7 percent
- Scan distance: Range up to 30 meters, which can dynamically scan the 3D structural information of an entire house
- Near the blind spot: 0.05 meters
- @90 percent reflectivity: 30 meters
The impressive scanning performance of the L2 4D Lidar enables mobile robots to achieve precise positioning and autonomous navigation. It uses high-precision, high-density point cloud data through omnidirectional ultra-wide-angle scanning without repetition to achieve photo-level scanning effects.
Unitree's lidar uses a completely open source SLAM solution that does not require any other positioning sensors. Its POINT-LIO algorithm with integrated inertial measurement unit (IMU) enables detailed mapping of the environment.
It can also be used in almost all lighting conditions. It resists interference from indoor ambient light as well as strong outdoor lights of up to 100 Klux with stable distance measurement and high-precision mapping.
Practical applications of the L2 4D Lidar include: robotic vacuum cleaners, logistics and warehousing systems, intelligent distribution systems, intelligent industry, intelligent agriculture and intelligent factories.
