Product Details
SLAMTEC RPLiDAR A1M8 360 Degree Laser Range Finder – 6m (Radius Range)
The SLAMTEC RPLiDAR A1M8 is a cost-effective, high-performance 360-degree Laser Range Finder (LIDAR) sensor designed specifically for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) applications in robotics. Utilizing the principles of triangulation, the RPLiDAR spins continuously to scan its environment, generating a dense point cloud map of the surrounding space up to a 6-meter radius.
The module is known for its excellent performance-to-price ratio, offering a rapid sampling rate of up to 8000 samples per second. This high data rate, combined with an adjustable scan frequency (typically 5.5 Hz to 10 Hz), provides the detailed, real-time environmental data required for autonomous navigation, path planning, and obstacle avoidance in mobile robots, drones, and educational platforms. The sensor uses a low-power infrared laser that meets Class 1 eye safety standards, ensuring safe operation in public environments.
