Contributing to Safety and Labor Reduction Through High-Accuracy Perception for Drones and AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles)

ICT and Industrial

Background

Amid concerns over the shrinking labor force, there is a growing demand for AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles) and drones to automate and save manpower including loading and unloading at factories, distribution, and surveillance. At the same time, efforts are being made to reduce the risk of these AGVs and drones endangering workers. Autonomous driving requires machines to recognize their surroundings. To accomplish this, there has been an increase in the use of LiDAR for perception, which is capable of rapidly visualizing the surrounding situation in 4D.

Our Solution

With its unique scanning method, the Livox Technology Company (“Livox”) LiDAR that we provide enables high-speed and high-precision perception.
The “multi-line spinning lidar” scanning method is the most commonly used method for generating a 3D map by layering scan data from repeated straight-line scans. Livox, on the other hand, uses a unique scanning method (non-repetitive scanning: petal-shaped/infinity-shaped) to form a unique pattern by rotating the prism. By increasing the scanning integration time with this method, the scanning rate within the target FOV (field of view) is higher than with conventional scanning methods, allowing high-definition 4D data to be obtained more efficiently.
We offer this product in a variety of specifications to suit a wide range of applications. In addition to mobile units such as AGVs and drones, it can be applied to cases where a more advanced perimeter monitoring system using object recognition is desired, such as surveillance systems for facilities where surveillance cameras are frequently used, to realize a highly cost-effective solution.
