FROM THE EDITOR

How LiDAR-Enabled Robots Benefit The Defense, Aerospace, And Biotech Industries

Adding LiDAR to robots can significantly improve their capabilities and performance across various applications by enhancing their perception and understanding of the surrounding environment.

SPOTLIGHT ON LIDAR

Avalanche Photodiodes For LIDAR Applications

Avalanche Photodiodes (APD)  are ideal for laser-based distance measurement, laser scanning and mapping, shape recognition and remote sensing, as well as LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). 

LiDAR: Measuring The Measurement System Is Essential

This white paper discusses the importance of precisely measuring LiDAR parameters and its impact on the performance and construction of LiDAR systems.
