  2. The Advantages of Using Slamtec RPLIDAR for Obstacle Detection in Robotics.

    The RPLIDAR series of laser scanners are produced by Slamtec, a company specializing in robotic perception technology. The RPLIDAR scanners are widely used in various applications, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, and mapping.360-Degree Scanning: The RPLIDAR scanners provide a 360-degree scanning range, allowing them to capture a complete view of the environment around them.Laser Range and Resolution: The laser scanners offer different ranges and resolutions depending on the specific model. For example, the RPLIDAR A1M8 has a scanning range of 12 meters, while the RPLIDAR A2M12 has a range of 18 meters. The scanning resolution can vary as well, typically ranging from 0.9 to 1 degree.The scanning frequency of RPLIDAR scanners can vary across models. The RPLIDAR A3M1, for instance, can achieve a scanning frequency of up to 15,000 Hz, while the RPLIDAR A2M12 has a frequency of 10,000 Hz.
