Slamtec AURORA – integrated localization and mapping sensor with AI, LiDAR, camera and IMU

Description

AURORA is a comprehensive localization and mapping sensor that integrates LiDAR, machine vision (stereo HDR), IMU, and deep learning algorithms, offering centimeter-level positioning accuracy in both indoor and outdoor environments. The device generates precise 2D maps and 3D point clouds in real time, with minimal latency and high resistance to environmental and lighting disturbances. Designed for compatibility with ROS and ROS2 platforms, the sensor is suitable for mobile robots, humanoid robots, autonomous navigation systems, and environments requiring stable spatial localization.
