Hi very Impressive, seems to be a costly project..

Which Leaser Scanner ur using ? Is there any cheaper Leaser Scanner ? like with in 1k bucks?

[ghemann11]

using the Hokuyo UTM - 30LX laser

not sure about one this size under 1k, but the hokuyo urg-04LX is twice as cheap as the one we're currently using

Nice video, in case of GPS signal absent for how much tistance and time it can navigate ?

[ghemann11]

This platform is completely independent of GPS. So technically as long as the battery can last, which is about 10 minutes.

Hi! Could you tell please which algorithm are you using for 3D SLAM? Is any of your software components available as open source?

Someday, one of these things will get somebody killed.
