Sweep V1 360° Laser Scanner

Description

• Ideal sensor for detecting and avoiding obstacles.
• Full 360 degree field of view.
• Provides high resolution and accurate data.
• Great learning tool.

The Sweep V1 360° Laser Scanner is a scanning LiDAR sensor designed to bring powerful 360 degrees sensing capabilities to everyone at an affordable price.  On robotic vehicules, it is an ideal sensor for detecting and avoiding obstacles. Whether in the air or on land, robots need to understand their surroundings to navigate safely. The need for intelligent sensors becomes critical when robotic vehicles are tasked to navigate near people or high value objects. Sweep provides long range and accurate range data to objects, even in noisy sunlit environments. By providing a full 360 degree field of view, Sweep offers an economical way to replace a host of other range sensors, while providing higher resolution and more accurate data.

As an IoT device, Sweep can be used to detect the quantity and location of people within a space. Its long range and wide field of view allow Sweep to monitor large spaces.  Sweep does this without introducing privacy concerns that traditional video cameras present.

Surveying with scanning LiDAR has traditionally been very expensive. Sweep brings the ability to collect this vital data quickly and cheaply. With 3D scanning add-on (currently in development), Sweep can create full spherical scans of environments. This has huge implications for those wanting to document 3D environments.

Sweep is a great learning tool. By providing a sensor that's affordable enough for students to purchase, Sweep opens the door for LiDAR to be used in a wide range of educational settings. Sweep can help teach the fundamentals of 3D mapping in the classroom, as well as help guide educational robots in competitions.  Sweep is easy to start using quickly, by providing drivers and libraries for several of the most popular development platforms, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and National Instruments roboRIO.
