SparkFun RPLIDAR S1 360° TOF Laser Range Scanner is a next-generation low-cost 360° 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. The scanner can take up to 9200 samples of laser ranging per second with high rotation speed. And equipped with SLAMTEC patented OPTMAG technology, it breakouts the life limitation of the traditional LIDAR system so as to work stably for a long time. The system can perform 2D 360-degree scan within a 40-meter range. The generated 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization, and object/environment modeling.
