However, as the core sensor of robot positioning navigation, Lidar plays an important role in robot autonomous walking and positioning navigation. RPLIDAR is the ideal cost-effective sensor for robots and hardware researchers and hobbyists.
The combination of the ROS and RPLIDAR will definitely make the robot autonomous positioning navigation better. The tutorial for ROS well explains ROS as the open-source software library, it is greatly used by robotics researchers and companies.
RPLIDAR is a low-cost LIDAR sensor suitable for indoor robotic SLAM application. The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization and object/environment modeling.
