Abstract

For mapping with mobile robots the fast acquisition of dense point clouds is important. Different sensor techniques and devices exist for different applications. In this paper, we present a novel platform for rotating 3D and 2D LiDAR sensors. It allows for swiftly capturing 3D scans that are densely populated and that almost cover a full sphere. While the platform design is generic and many common LRF can be mounted on it, in our setup we use a Velodyne VLP-16 PUCK LiDAR as well as a Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW LRF to acquire distance measurements. We describe the hardware design as well as the control software. We further compare our system with other existing commercial and noncommercial designs, especially with the FARO Focus3D X 130.
