RPLiDAR A2M12 360 Degree Laser Scanner Kit – 12M Range

Description:

RPLIDAR A2M12: Affordable 360 Laser Scanner for Robotics & 2D Mapping

Discover the world around your projects with the RPLIDAR A2M12 , a cost-effective 360-degree triangulation laser sensing scanner designed for a wide range of applications. This versatile LIDAR unit is your ideal instrument for developing in-home robots, enabling basic 3D modelling, creating interactive installations, or for general environmental scanning .

The RPLIDAR A2M12 leverages the triangulation laser ranging principle , emitting and receiving laser light to precisely measure distances. Powered by the high-speed RPVision3.0 range engine, it boasts an impressive sampling capability of up to 16 kHz (16,000 samples per second). This allows it to generate detailed 2D point cloud map information across a full 360-degree field of view, covering a radius of up to 12 meters . With an adjustable rotational speed between 5 Hz and 15 Hz, it achieves an angular resolution of 0.225 (at a typical 10Hz scan rate), capturing the nuances of its surroundings.

Built for endurance, the RPLIDAR A2M12 incorporates OPTMAG light magnetic fusion technology, ensuring prolonged operational life of up to five years of reliable running. Safety is also a key consideration, with the output laser power being certified as IEC-60825 Class One eye safe . Its compact, cup-size design featuring a 4cm ultra-thin shell makes it exceptionally light and portable, allowing for easy integration into various platforms, including small mobile robots like floor mopping robots.

If you're seeking an accessible yet capable laser scanner for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), robot navigation, or obstacle avoidance , the RPLIDAR A2M12 offers a compelling blend of performance, durability, and affordability.
