Introduction to LiDAR - The Byte Sized Engineer | DigiKey
For robots that move around, one of the most difficult tasks is to identify surrounding objects, while also keeping track of their own position. This process is called simultaneous location and mapping and fortunately, we have a sensor technology that is perfectly built for this task. In this video, Zach dives into light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) which is the sensor technology found in self-driving cars, drones, and even some consumer robot vacuums.
