RPLIDAR A2 - 360º Laser Scanner Development Kit

The core of RPLIDAR A2 runs clockwise to perform a 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.

4cm Ultra-thin

With the custom special parts and the carefully designed internal mechanical system, the RPLIDAR A2 keeps its excellent performance while cut the thickness to only 4cm. It is ideal for all kinds of service robot.

The sample rate of LIDAR directly decides whether the robot can map quickly and accurately. RPLIDAR improves the internal optical design and algorithm system to make the sample rate up to 8000 times,which is the highest in the current economical LIDAR industry.

Comparison under different conditions

OPTMAG Original Design

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 traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connection failure caused by the physical wearing out so as to prolong the life-span.

360 degree laser range scanning

The core of RPLIDAR A2 runs clockwise to perform a 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.

Low Noise, Brushless Motor New Non-contact Drive

Compared with the traditional belt drive mode, RPLIDAR A2 uses the self-designed brushless motor to reduce the mechanical friction in running. Therefore, the RPLIDAR A2 can run smoothly without any noise.

16m/12m Range Radius

With algorithm optimization, RPLIDAR improves the range radius 16 meters, which will provide more data due to a larger environmental outline map.

The RPLIDAR A2 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.

RPLIDAR A2 adopts laser triangulation ranging principle, and with high-speed RPVision range engine, it measures distance data 8000 times per second and also has a excellent performance in a long distance.

Five years ultra-long life

With brushless motor and OPTMAG technology, the RPLIDAR will work for 5 years(24 hours every day).
