Description
RPLIDAR A1 is a low cost 360-degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. The system can perform a 360degree scan within a 6meter range. The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization, and object/environment modeling.
RPLIDAR A1’s scanning frequency reached 5.5 Hz when sampling 360 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10 Hz maximum.
RPLIDAR A1 is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellently in all kinds of indoor environments and outdoor environments without sunlight.
For your convenience, we made a table comparing 4 different RPLiDARs so you can easily pick one that suits your project!

NiceArrived on time, works perfectly
-
Perfect for small robotic projectsExcellent product for the price. Although I have not tested it yet, the quality and characteristics look very promising.
-
Works well and easy to useEasy to install and use. Comes with good documentation and libraries are available. it produces accurate results. Minor point is that the communication cable sticks out the bottom, which makes propping it up necessary as the legs are a bit short.
-
Strong PerformanceThough the drivers and documentation are not the strongest, the hardware itself and overall refresh rate have been quite satisfactory. Our team is getting good results tracking bodies and with connecting multiple lidar units at the same time.
-
Good early useI was able to see the output from the device very quickly after receiving it which is a good sign. Looking forward to integrating with my ROS powered project.
