We are proud to announce our 5hz 360degree 2d Laser Scanner (LIDAR): RPLIDAR.
LIDAR is one of the ideal sensor to perform robot indoor localization (such as the SLAM algorithm). Also, LIDAR can be used to implement 3D scene scan and modeling. But currently the existing product is very expensive (>$2000 USD). The high cost of the current products prevents LIDAR to be applied in the daily home usage and it is hard for a robotic hobbyist to afford one.

RPLIDAR is built by low cost design, the price of the final product will be much lower than the existing products. The ranger system is based on triangualtion, it provides precise measurement (refer to the following spec for details). Thanks to the high speed vision system designed by RoboPeak, RPLIDAR only costs 0.4 millisecond to perform a single measure. The high speed sampling rate enables RPLIDAR to have a 5.5hz scan rate with 360 sample points in each cycle. The performance should be good enough for indoor robotic SLAM.

Key Specifications
NOTE: As our design is changing, the following specifications are subjected to be changed without further notice. Please refer to the datasheet attached with the final product.
How to get one?
We have just finished several the engineer samples, a massive production will be scheduled. We are looking for factorys to cooperate with us in the massive production stage.
How to contact us?
Please email to support <AT> robopeak.com
Very Cool!But I am more concerned about the price.
<200USD?
Hi, could you please keep me posted?
i am very interesting in this product.
what price you expect for market after start mass production?
thx.
Dmitry
We are interesting this product.
If you have mass production issue Perhaps we can help you find the mass production vendor
Please contact me 😛
Please keep me in touch with progress.
I have a number of clients with applications for a low cost LiDAR solution
So, can we buy it already??
available from seeedstudio with worldwide free shipping

I am very interested in this product is there anyway I could get in touch with someone?
Hi! When your lidar will be available for purchase?
Este cel mai frumos articol despre RP-LIDAR: Low Cost
5hz 360 deg LIDAR pe care l-am citit vreodata!
Is there any chance to get notified when this product is available to the public? I would love to purchase one as soon as possible!
they are now on seeedstudio:

你好，我们实验室目前正在进行激光扫描测距模块的硬件选型，要该模块能够支持树莓派，请问贵公司的这款设备支持树莓派吗？
We are manufacturers and sellers of VTOL UAVs. Lidar applications are becoming one of our principal market areas. We would be most interested in working with you in manufacturing (we have necessary equipment and facilities) and distribution.
At this point, do you have an estimate of the weight of the unit?
Thanks and Best Regards!
