In the field of AGV applications, LiDAR is mainly divided into two types based on its functions: obstacle avoidance and navigation.

G-TEK LMO obstacle avoidance laser scanner

At present, industrial AGV / AMR obstacle avoidance is mainly based on single line lidar. Compared with multi line lidar, single line lidar responds faster in angular frequency and sensitivity, and is very accurate in testing the distance and accuracy of surrounding obstacles. 

AGV automatic obstacle avoidance refers to the process in which an AGV car, based on the collected status information of obstacles, detects static and dynamic objects that hinder its passage through sensors during automatic driving, stops effectively avoiding obstacles according to certain methods, and finally reaches the destination point. Obstacle avoidance LiDAR continuously scans the surrounding environment, detects obstacles in real-time, and controls them accordingly based on the detection results to avoid collisions with obstacles.
     
The main functions of LMO lidar are safety protection, area detection, etc. Connect the LMO lidar with the area designer software through USB to configure the equipment, and set the data graphic display and detection area (the field application can select the area through rs232/rs485/io/ethernet); Then judge whether there is object intrusion. If there is object intrusion, warning output realizes obstacle avoidance function and safety protection.

G-TEK LMO navigation laser scanner

3D lidar can scan three-dimensional space and output dense 3D point clouds, providing richer information support for AGV / AMR real-time positioning, navigation and obstacle avoidance, and detecting obstacles around the vehicle body and ground terrain changes to the greatest extent. On the other hand, 3D lidar has the advantages of strong detection ability of low reflectivity objects, strong anti-interference ability of ambient light, strong penetration ability of rain, fog, snow and dust, and can be used in indoor and outdoor complex scenes. With the deepening of AGV application, the application of 3D multi line lidar will be the trend in the future。

In recent years, laser navigation AGVs based on SLAM (Synchronous Localization And Mapping) technology have become increasingly mature, able to adapt to complex, cumbersome, and intelligent command requirements, effectively solving the pain points of the first and second generation AGV products, and meeting the lean and flexible production needs of manufacturing enterprises. As a result, AGVs have entered the third generation AGV era represented by laser navigation.

The LMO navigation series LiDAR can achieve 270 degree scanning, 16 sets of custom detection areas, high flexibility, and multiple radars can be used in parallel without crosstalk.
