Product Description: Laser Scanner RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 360 degrees - 12m - Seeedstudio 114992561
The RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 is a 2Dlaser scannerfrom Slamtec. The device can perform360°scans at adistance of up to 12 m. The resulting 2D point cloud can be used for mapping, localization and modeling of individual objects or surroundings. The operating frequency of the RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 is 5.5 Hz sampling 360 points per revolution. The product is a laser measurement system based on triangulation. It can be used in locations where there is no direct sunlight.

How does the RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 laser scanner work?
The RPLiDAR A1M8-R6 rotates clockwise while performing a 360-degree, omni-directional laser scan of its surroundings. It then generates a contour map of the object or its surroundings using hardware support.
