"They're all going to dump lidar," Musk said about self-driving rivals in April.

TeraRanger One is the most advanced distance sensor for robotics.

Its performance and lightweight design enable robotics applications that were previously impossible with slower sonar sensors or big heavy lasers. The sensor is fully eye-safe, pre-calibrated and ROS compatible. Simply attach it to your robot and you’re ready to go!

The sensor comes in two case designs but can also be customized in shape and colour for special applications. Please contact us for personalized solutions and configurations.

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of different line extraction algorithms on 2D laser scans for indoor environment. Six popular algorithms in mobile robotics and computer vision are selected and tested. Experiments are performed on 100 real data scans collected in an office environment with a map size of 80m × 50m. Several comparison criteria are proposed and discussed to highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each algorithm, including speed, complexity, correctness and precision. The results of the algorithms are compared with the ground truth using standard statistical methods.
