How Does MagSlim LiDAR Navigation Differ from Others?

Seeing through Sensors

• Gyroscope Navigation

  Gyroscope sensors detect the motion and rotation of the robots.

   

  Efficient path planning

  Introduced zigzag path planning to reduce omissions.

   

  Lower accuracy

  The measurement accuracy is lower, which doesn’t suit complex environments.

• Traditional LiDAR Navigation

  LiDAR scans the house with a spinning laser on top of the robot.

   

  Precise mapping

  LiDAR accurately measures distances and dimensions, generates precise house maps, and conducts planned cleaning.

   

  Increased product height

  However, subject to the sensor’s position, the LiDAR module increases the thickness of the robot.

• VSLAM Navigation

  The camera on the top maps the house by taking photos of the ceiling and other landmarks.

   

  Visual mapping

  It obtains more data by simulating human vision to realise the recognition and navigation of surroundings.

   

  Limited operating condition and accuracy

  Every coin has two sides, though, VSLAM’s accuracy is reduced and cannot work in the dark.

• MagSlim LiDAR Navigation

  The newly designed Mini-dToF LiDAR is sunk into the interior of the robot to map and navigate.

   

  Precise mapping + ultra-slim

  It not only continues with high-precision mapping and navigation but also bypasses the height limitation of traditional LiDAR. This provides the robot access beneath lower cabinets and beds to clean harder-to-reach areas.
