Resgreen Group International Inc. shared details about its 2D and 3D LiDAR systems that will help its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) move around factories, warehouses and buildings without reflectors, tape or any other markers. The natural feature guidance system uses both 2D and 3D LiDARs to scan the facility and create a map of the area where the vehicles will travel. The vehicle then compares its surroundings to the map to verify its location.

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, uses laser beams to calculate how long it takes for the pulsed light to hit an object and reflect back. These measurements help create a 3D map of the vehicle's surroundings to help guide the vehicle safely. RGGI is using two different ROS-compatible LiDAR products to ensure its vehicles are in compliance with any other ROS systems. The LiDAR detects 60 to 120 degrees in front of and behind the vehicle - and at a distance of 14 feet.

The 2D and 3D LiDAR systems are featured in RGGI's LilBuddy AMR. LilBuddy is an ultra compact vehicle that can move loads over 200 pounds.
