What are the future applications of lidar sensors?
Radar is not unfamiliar to many people, but lidar may not hear much. With the continuous development and popularization of laser technology, in recent years, Google, Tesla and other driverless technologies have been exposed. It can be seen in drones, 3D printing, VR / AR and other fields.
Lidar, or light detection and measurement, is a system that combines laser, global positioning system (GPS), and inertial navigation system (INS) technologies to obtain data and generate accurate DEM (digital elevation model) . From the working principle, there is no fundamental difference with microwave radar, but compared with microwave radar, it has the characteristics of high resolution, good concealment, strong anti-interference ability, good low-altitude detection performance, small size and light weight. The role of lidar is to accurately measure target position (distance and angle), motion state (speed, vibration, and attitude) and shape, and detect, identify, distinguish, and track targets. E.g:
Lidar can help robots understand surrounding map information in unknown environments, provide good environmental awareness for subsequent positioning and navigation, and even human-computer interaction, and promote the robot's intelligent process.
A lidar, which costs 40% of driverless cars, can help driverless cars to obtain three-dimensional position information of their environment, determine the position, size, external appearance and even materials of objects in order to "accurate" and "fast" The space detection capability of "efficient operation" has become an indispensable presence in the field of unmanned driving.
Let ’s take a look at the novel applications of lidar sensors in the near future. According to foreign media reports, Pepperl + Fuchs has launched a new R2300 multi-layer scanner. The compact and space-saving R2300 is only 58 mm high. It is a 3D lidar (light detection and ranging) sensor for 3D object detection. The sensor uses high-precision lidar measurement technology, which can analyze four scanning planes, and can detect and measure the length, width and height of objects, with a high measurement density. Even in demanding applications, many innovative design features of 3D lidar sensors ensure extremely high detection reliability and availability.
Possible applications for the R2300 in the future include intralogistics, mobile devices and robotics, which means that multi-layer scanners require a particularly robust design. The Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) in the R2300 not only ensures a high degree of independence from object and surface characteristics, but also ensures a high level of immunity to external light, high-frequency lamps, and optical reflections from the application environment.
Another unique feature of the R2300 in the multilayer scanner market is the mechanical separation of the transmitter and receiver within the optical unit. The separation element in the head of the 3D sensor reliably prevents light shorts that may occur when the front panel becomes dirty, and part of the emitted light is directly reflected back to the receiver element, ensuring that the R2300 always provides correct measurement results and a high level of detection reliability, At the same time, maintenance costs are greatly reduced. In fact, for the application of lidar in the future technology field, the lidar sensors provided by Mining Network include but are not limited to TF03-180, TFmini Plus, SJ-GU-TFmini-T-01 A05, CE30-A, TF02.
