Robotic mapping/floor plan technology

lol this guy is gonna is gonna put him self out of a job, they'll make that robot do it alone eventually

The robot does open the possibility of 3 dimension camera. In the future will people interact with the scenes in a picture and move through the space virtually

do you know of a low cost way to 3d map the contour of a golf course putting green?

[supergenius1994]

how do you do this?

[Darrengb]

Can you teach it to pick my sons toys, make the beds, cook breakfast, listen to my wife, screen my calls, chill my beer, and feed the cats, not to mention the kitty litter, and recharge itself, call my parents ask them how there going, mow the learn, put out the rubbish, I think that about it for now LOL

1:02 it seems that u can easily convert the points into 3d objects or at least propper floorplans by filtering the single points and forming geometric shapes, lines, splines, rectangle whatever to follow these lines.

[tanelkagan]

A great system, definitely, but how does one use the data produced?

It looks to me as if the output consists of thousands of points. If I were producing a floor plan in CAD software I would need lines, arcs and other elements.

Is there a way to convert the point data into these elements or does it require manual conversion?
