Advantages of LiDAR
A single-line lidar is essentially a laser emitter plus a rotating scanner. The result is a two-dimensional image.
Features of single-line lidar:
Convenient: It transmits and receives simultaneously, has a simple structure, and is easy to use;
High: High scanning speed, high angular resolution;
Low: low power consumption, small size, and low weight;
Precision: Mapping accuracy down to the centimeter level;
Savings: Bulk selling price of several hundred yuan;
Long service life; can work 24 hours a day.
Wide: Wide range of applications.
Mature market and players
As an indispensable sensor in the field of artificial intelligence, LiDAR is equivalent to the "eyes" of humans, helping to determine the position, size, external shape and even material of objects, and plays a pivotal role in the entire artificial intelligence industry.
Looking at the single-line LiDAR market, its applications are flourishing in areas such as home and commercial service robots, meeting users' demands for both cost and performance. The future holds limitless possibilities and immense potential. New applications are constantly being discovered in security, transportation, and intelligent road administration. The annual revenue of China's LiDAR market is projected to grow from 349 million yuan in 2018 to 446 million yuan in 2022, demonstrating immense potential and boundless prospects.
Applications are flourishing everywhere
LiDAR, an indispensable sensor in service robots, offers superior directivity and focusing compared to image and ultrasonic ranging, making it the most reliable and stable positioning technology currently available. LiDAR sensors acquire map information, construct maps, and enable path planning and navigation.
Besides location mapping, the LiDAR SDK interface can also be used for multi-touch applications. The technical principle is to use an infrared laser device to project infrared light onto a screen. When the screen is blocked, the infrared light will be reflected, and a camera under the screen will capture the direction of the reflection. After system analysis, a response can be made.
In terms of security, lidar can be linked with multiple cameras to intelligently identify intruders, actively track them, and obtain accurate dynamic trajectories and on-site video in real time, making it convenient for security personnel to take timely pursuit actions.
In the logistics field, LiDAR can guide AGVs to determine the best path, easily avoid obstacles, and reach their destination smoothly, without the need for additional reflectors. It has the advantages of high positioning accuracy, high path flexibility, and high level of intelligence.
The future belongs to an era of widespread "driverless" technology, with autonomous driving experiencing rapid development and consumer and industrial robots becoming more widespread and practical. What companies need to do is continuously improve their cutting-edge technologies and products, and deeply integrate LiDAR with the robotics industry to prepare for the upcoming era of intelligent manufacturing.
