Awareness Software
31th Dec 2019
LiDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging, and is a technology that uses safe, invisible laser beams to detect objects both in motion. Each beam travels through its environment, bouncing off each object and then returns to the sensor to create a digital 3D point cloud of its environment.
Features of the Application:
- Distance detection.
- Mapping of objects in either 2D or 3D.
- Object detection with avoidance.
- Route plotting.
- GUI to display all the relevant information.
A.R.M LiDAR System
15th Nov 2019
The proposed application that is titled “A.R.M. LiDAR System” which stands for Avoidance and Route Mapping LiDAR System. This is intended primarily as a system that will enable potential users to detect objects or obstacles and path find a way around and or through them, mapping as it moves through the environment.
Metrics:
- The application should run on (desktop, laptop).
- The application can send and receive data from the LiDAR and ensure that the MU can be given commands.
- Map data can be seen in real-time as the MU follows the route.
- The user can maintain routes.

PROJECT DISCRIPTION
14th Sept 2019
Building an application around a LiDAR scanner
Potential Applications:
- Obstacle Avoidance
- Autonomous Mapping
- Route Planning and Navigation
Some research and design may lead to the need for some additional components e.g. mobile vehicle or some sort which could be programmatically controlled.
