The SF30 is a high speed, light weight
laser rangefinder for mapping and
obstacle detection by robotic
vehicles such as UAVs.
The SF30 can take up to 18316
readings per second and can be
incorporated into scanning systems to
create 2D SLAM maps or 3D images.
The configurable features and
multiple hardware interfaces make
the SF30 easy to connect with
different types of controllers.
The SF30 uses a time-of-flight system
to make very fast and accurate
distance and speed measurements to
natural or artificial surfaces.
