Feature

●[High Accuracy] RPlidar A2M12 has a sampling rate of 16000 times/s. In addition, The lidar ranging distance can reach up to 12 meters Based on white objects with 80% reflectivity,so it can collect environmental information at a rather higher speed and accuracy than RPlidar A1M8, ensure a real-time performance.
●[360 Degree 2D Scanning] The ranging core of RPLIDAR A2M12 rotates clockwise, performs 360 degree 2D omnidirectional lidar range scan on the surrounding environment, and generates an outline map. configurable scan rate from 5~15Hz, Typical 10Hz
●[Plug and Play] With the 3 feature: Build-in Serial Port and USB Interface, Open Source SDK and Tools and Integration with ROS, Just connecting the RPLIDAR and a computer via a micro USB cable, users can use the RPLIDAR without any coding job.
●[OPTMAG technology] which repairs electrical connection errors due to physical wear and prolong the life-span；High-speed RPVision Range Engine: RPVision 2.0.
●[High Security] A low-power infrared lidar is used as the emission light source, and is driven by a modulated pulse mode, which meets the Class 1 safety standard and reaches the human eye safety level.
●[Application scenario] General Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM); Environment Scanning and 3D Reconstruction; Navigation and Localization of Home Care/Cleaning Robots; General Robot Navigation and Localization; Smart Toys Localization and Obstacle Detection.
