Puck in Hand, Velodyne LiDAR to Return to sUSB Expo at Fort Mason
Summary
The Puck is expanding the use of 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology sensors in unmanned aerial vehicles, robotics, and factory automation applications. What’s new isn’t simply recording data with the sensor but using real-time, 3D LIDAR sensors to actually help avoid collisions – in the air, to stay clear of other UAVs, and likewise on the ground, to find a suitable landing site when faced with the unknown, in a military hot zone or an area in the wilderness.” WHAT: Small Unmanned Systems Business Exposition (sUSB). This year’s workshop subjects include mapping, search and rescue, and aerial photography, and are hosted by professionals in the unmanned and remote sensing field. Workshop attendees will get insights and highlights of procedures and workflows honed from years of real world, in the field experience. The company’s LiDAR division evolved after founder and inventor David Hall competed in the 2004-05 DARPA Grand Challenge using stereovision technology.
