Livox LiDAR in Gaussian Robotics' service robots
Gaussian Robotics uses Livox Mid-series LiDAR for mapping, positioning, navigation and obstacle avoidance in its cleaning, security and delivery robots.
At a glance
The challenge
Slow-moving service robots need dense 3D data to find their way through busy spaces, but traditional mechanical 16- and 32-line LiDARs are expensive to build into every robot.
What was done
- Gaussian built a navigation approach it calls SLAM 2.0, combining 3D LiDAR with cameras, ultrasound, GPS and other sensors.
- The Mid series' non-repetitive scan pattern gives the dense point clouds that slow robots need.
- Gaussian qualified the sensor through its own testing and inspections at the supplier.
Results
According to Livox and Gaussian, the partnership helped Gaussian launch cost-effective service robots. No performance figures were published.
Equipment
For robots today, the Livox Mid-360S and Mid-360L and the RoboSense Airy are the usual starting points. We can help you choose and integrate the sensor.
