SLAMTEC RPLIDAR C1 - Fusion DTOF LiDAR for precise 360° environment detection
The RPLIDAR C1 is a compact fusion DTOF (Direct Time of Flight) laser scanner for consumer and service robots. It combines high detail detection at close range with a range of up to 12 m (at 70 % reflection) and delivers reliable 360° scans for mapping, navigation, localization and obstacle avoidance.
Highlights at a glance
360° all-round scanning for robust navigation and mapping in a wide range of environments
Range: 0.05-12 m (white/70 % reflection) and 0.05-6 m (black/10 % reflection)
High measurement performance: 5 kHz sampling and 8-12 Hz scanning frequency (typ. 10 Hz)
Reliable in everyday use: anti-interference/anti-adhesion focus and 40,000 lux ambient light tolerance
More data for better perception: position data plus reflection data and "2.5D" information for additional reference points
Eye-safe: laser class 1 (infrared, lower power)
Easy integration: compact, low vibration/low noise; TTL UART interface (460800)
SDK & ROS/ROS2: Support for Windows/Linux (x86) and ARM Linux, incl. ROS/ROS2
