Flexible modulability for intelligent system applications
The focus of the new LiDAR technologies developed at the University of Kassel is on high reliability.
The high reliability and robustness is achieved through a redundant yet compact and cost-effective implementation. With the fully integrated continuous diagnostic function and intelligent signal processing, the system is ideally designed for use in safety-critical applications.
Thanks to a new implementation of the optical elements, it is possible to switch between high scanning speed or high resolution during operation. Furthermore, the platform can also be provided as a compact and cost-effective 3D multi-channel solution. An additional advantage of this expansion module is its flexible applicability to existing LiDAR systems.
