Benewake Solid-state 3D Lidar Distance Measurement/Detection Sensor Wide FOV CE30-A for Robots AGV Mobile Robotics Autonomous Vehicles obstacle avoidance

CE30-A is a solid-state infrared LiDAR which is developed based on the ToF principle. Equipped with its special hardware design, it can complete the measurement of wide horizontal FOV and output the grey and depth information at the same time.

With its specially optimized obstacle avoidance mode, the detecting area of interest can be set. The single-point projection distance information of the nearest distance point could be transferred through CANBUS. Compared with single-line scanning LiDAR, CE30-A does not contain any rotating components, which could ensure the reliability, durability, and a wider vertical detecting range.

Principle of Ranging:

The ranging principle of CE30-A is based on Time of Flight (TOF). CE30-A emits modulated near-infrared light, which will be reflected by the object and received by CE30-A again. CE30-A calculates the phase difference and time difference between the emitted and received light, which will be further converted to the clearance of the shot scene.

Obstacle Avoidance Mode

The obstacle avoidance mode of CE30-A is especially developed for the robot obstacle avoidance application. Under this mode, CE30-A will select out the most critical obstacle for the robots and provide the information to the robots.

Setting Warning Region under Obstacle Avoidance Mode

We set the function of warning zone under the obstacle avoidance mode. With the function, though CE30-A still detects the whole detecting range, it only sends warning signals and obstacle information to the robot when there are objectives in the warning area.

We could set the region of interest (ROI) by the width and depth.
