The RPLiDAR A1M8 utilizes laser triangulation technology to perform 360° scans, capturing data points to create detailed 2D point clouds. Its specifications include:
Distance Range: 0.15 to 12 meters
Angular Field of View: 360°
Resolution: 0.5–1.0% (minimum 0.5 mm) at distances less than 1.5 meters
Angular Resolution: ≤1° at 5.5 Hz scanning frequency
Sampling Frequency: 4000–8000 Hz
Scan Frequency: 1–10 Hz (typical 5.5 Hz)
This scanner is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, excluding direct sunlight exposure. It's compatible with various development platforms and comes with an SDK for easy integration into your projects.
