Many robots and sensors are tested by our R&D engineers. Our tests and comparisons can help you in your purchasing decision.
We have conducted extensive tests with the Robosense RS-LiDAR16. The results are compared with other LiDAR (Quanergy M8-1, Sick 551 and RpLiDAR A3) to have a better understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. The distance measurement obtained with a LiDAR can be influenced by internal (hardware components, mathematics computations, communication protocols, etc.) and external (sun[…]
