Introduction to SLAMTEC Aurora

1. Product Overview

Aurora is a newly developed integrated positioning and mapping sensor by SLAMTEC that integrates laser, vision, inertial navigation and deep learning technologies. The sensor does not require external dependencies and can achieve high-precision indoor and outdoor three-dimensional mapping as soon as it is turned on, and has six-degree-of-freedom positioning capabilities. At the same time, the product is also equipped with a complete development tool chain, including graphical interactive software RoboStudio, SDK for secondary development, etc., to help users quickly build personalized applications and accelerate the implementation of downstream products. This product has the following features:

Aurora products provide customers with 3D mapping and positioning capabilities in an integrated form. It uses Silan's unique laser-vision-IMU fusion SLAM algorithm, combined with vision and laser characteristics, and can perform map data fusion more than 10 times per second and map data drawing of up to one million square meters. Silan provides a tool chain for secondary development, including the visual interactive tool RoboStudio, C++ SDK, JAVA SDK, Restful API SDK, ROS SDK, etc.

SLAMTEC Aurora adopts a coordinate system that follows the right-hand rule, using the front of the laser sensor as the x-axis of the coordinate system, and the origin of the coordinate system is the rotation center of the ranging core. The specific coordinate system definition is shown in the figure below:
