The RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 Plus: Advanced 2D MEMS Smart Chip LiDAR (200m Range) represents a significant leap in LiDAR technology, utilizing a 2D MEMS-based smart chip for scanning, which surpasses the capabilities of traditional 1D motor-driven systems. This device has been rigorously tested to meet Automotive-Grade Standards, ensuring its stability for use in both passenger and commercial vehicles. The comprehensive testing adheres to a suite of automotive-grade test standards, and the MEMS mirror module boasts AEC-Q100 certification for its reliability.
In terms of security, the RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 Plus meets functional safety requirements and includes a built-in self-test feature. It achieves a probabilistic metric for random hardware failures that satisfies the requirements of ASIL-B. Additionally, the device incorporates innovative optoelectronic technology and a functional safety real-time monitoring mechanism, ensuring it meets international standards for human eye safety. The M1 and M1 Plus models have been certified for eye safety by two international professional testing institutions, reinforcing their commitment to user safety.
The high-quality point cloud generated by the RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 Plus is designed to ensure safe usage, with patented technology addressing the corner case challenges of LiDAR point clouds. Furthermore, the smart "GAZE" function enhances obstacle avoidance capabilities by dynamically increasing the vertical resolution in the region of interest, allowing for earlier detection of distant obstacles and providing vehicles with ample time to respond, thus improving the autonomous driving experience.
The RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1 Plus is a leader in its field, having been selected for mass production in numerous vehicle models across various automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. This LiDAR product is equipped with a high frame rate, impressive points per second in both single and dual return modes, and a wide field of view. It also features a robust Ethernet connection for data output, including spatial coordinates and intensity, among other details. The device operates within a wide voltage range and maintains low power consumption. Its compact and durable design is suitable for a range of operating and storage temperatures and is protected against ingress to maintain performance in diverse environments.
Please note that the use of this product should adhere to all applicable safety and usage guidelines to ensure proper operation and to avoid potential hazards.
