RPLIDAR Low Cost 360 degree 2D Laser Scanner (LIDAR) System Introduction and Datasheet 2014-4-17 rev.6 For Model： A1M1 Copyright 2009-2014 RoboPeak Team http://www.RoboPeak.com Model: A1M1 Rev. 6 RPLIDAR Introduction and Datasheet 1. Introduction RPLIDAR is a low cost 360 degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) solution developed by RoboPeak. The system can perform 360 degree scan within 6 meter range. The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization and object/environment modeling. RPLIDAR’s scanning frequency reached 5.5 hz when sampling 360 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10 hz maximum. RPLIDAR is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellent in all kinds of indoor environment and outdoor environment without sunlight. System Connection RPLIDAR contains a range scanner system and a motor system. After power on each sub-system, RPLIDAR start rotating and scaning clockwisely. User can get range scan data through the communication interface (Serial port/USB). (clockwise rotation) Motor System power supply 3.6-6V Range Scanner System Digital System power supply 3.6-5V Motor system Communication Interface: UART/USB Fix platform (customizable) 1 / 11 Copyright 2009-2014 RoboPeak http://www.RoboPeak.com Model: A1M1 Rev. 6 RPLIDAR Introduction and Datasheet RPLIDAR comes with a speed detection and adaptive system. The system will adjust frequency of laser scanner automatically according to motor speed. And host system can get RPLIDAR’s real speed through communication interface. The simple power supply schema saves LIDAR system’s BOM cost and makes RPLIDAR much easier to use. Detailed specification about power and communication interface can be found in the following sections. Mechanism RPLIDAR is based on laser triangulation ranging principle and uses high-speed vision acquisition and processing hardware developed by RoboPeak. The system measures distance data in more than 2000 times’ per second and with high resolution distance output (
