Spatial Mapping by Lidar on a Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Application ID: 108821


Many robot vacuum cleaners nowadays are equipped with lidar for spatial mapping in order to design an optimal cleaning path and navigate in a room without bumping into obstacles. This model simulates the lidar of a robot vacuum cleaner and how it maps out the shape of the room using geometrical optics. The same principle applies to other scenarios using lidar such as autonomous vehicles and geographic surveying.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
