Slamtec Aurora LiDAR Visual-Inertial 6DOF SLAM Mapping Sensor

1.154,95 €

SLAMTEC Aurora is an integrated LiDAR, stereo-vision and IMU mapping sensor that delivers 6DOF localization and 3D mapping. Onboard sensor fusion combines laser geometry with visual and inertial information for mobile robots and portable mapping.

The system outputs laser scans, camera images, 2D grid maps, 3D point clouds and localization-quality data. Its integrated laser is specified to 40 m at 70% reflectivity, while adjustable 2 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm grid settings support different 2D mapping requirements.

Aurora Remote visualization tools and SDKs support evaluation and application development. Developers can connect mapping, pose and supported perception outputs to a host application without implementing the complete sensor-fusion pipeline from scratch.


Features

  • Integrated 6DOF perception - Combines visual and inertial sensing with onboard LiDAR fusion.
  • Wide-angle stereo cameras - 180-degree fisheye field of view and a 60 mm baseline provide broad visual coverage.
  • Hardware synchronization - Hardware-level synchronization aligns the supported sensor streams for the onboard estimation pipeline.
  • Large-area map management - Supports more than 1,000,000 m² maximum mapping area, map continuation, loading and saving.
  • Global relocalization - Supports recovery of localization within a mapped environment.
  • Rich perception outputs - Laser scans, image data, 2D maps, 3D point clouds, pose and localization quality support diverse applications.
  • Developer toolchain - Aurora Remote SDK and ROS integration support visualization, data access and customized software.
  • Power and interface design - Uses 12 V DC power input. The USB-C data port does not provide power delivery.
  • Application-focused form factor - 108 × 97 × 88 mm and 505 g for robot-mounted and portable mapping rigs.

Product Comparison

Model Architecture Main Outputs Mapping Area Connections
M2M3 Integrated 2D LiDAR SLAM 2D grid map and planar pose (x, y, heading) 300 × 300 m Ethernet / Wi-Fi
Aurora LiDAR + stereo vision + IMU 6DOF pose, 2D map and 3D point cloud Over 1,000,000 m² Ethernet / Wi-Fi / USB-C data
Aurora-S AI vSLAM + stereo vision + IMU; optional LiDAR 6DOF pose, dense depth and semantic outputs Over 1,000,000 m² Gigabit Ethernet / USB-C; optional Wi-Fi accessory

Choose by output and integration needs: M2M3 is a planar mapping module, Aurora integrates a laser scanner, and Aurora S uses visual-inertial perception with an optional external LiDAR. These are not equivalent sensor packages.


Application

Handheld Environment Mapping

Handheld Environment Mapping

The official demonstration shows portable capture and 3D mapping. Use the integrated visual, laser and inertial streams to build a mapping rig, while observing the separate power-input and installation requirements.

Garage and Building Reconstruction

Garage and Building Reconstruction

Inspect the official garage point-cloud example and evaluate coverage, loop closure and localization quality in the target site. A useful map depends on sensor motion and environmental features, not just the maximum laser range.

Construction and Site Mapping

Construction and Site Mapping

Collect spatial data for layout review and reconstruction workflows. Plan overlapping routes and preserve reliable power and network access during capture; engineering measurements still require application-specific accuracy validation.

Low-Speed Mobile Robot Perception

Low-Speed Mobile Robot Perception

Supply pose and map outputs to a service or research robot. Integrate motion planning and vehicle control separately, and validate sensor coverage around the actual chassis.

Humanoid and Quadruped Research

Evaluate 6DOF pose estimation on platforms with changing orientation. Check rigid mounting, sensor-to-body calibration and localization quality during realistic movement, especially when also using planar maps.

SDK-Based Mapping Applications

Connect over the supported network interface and use Aurora Remote tools to inspect maps and pose. Build capture, visualization or monitoring software on the official SDK and handle degraded localization explicitly.

FAQ

How does this model perform localization?

It fuses onboard LiDAR, stereo vision and IMU information to estimate 6DOF pose and build maps.

Is a lidar built into this model?

Yes. Aurora integrates LiDAR with its stereo cameras and IMU; the maximum laser range is 40 m at 70% reflectivity.

What is the camera configuration?

Stereo fisheye global-shutter cameras with a 60 mm baseline and 180-degree FOV. Aurora's current datasheet lists 10 Hz typical camera rate.

Can maps be saved and continued?

Yes. The system supports map loading, saving, continuation and global relocalization, subject to the supported toolchain and configuration.

Does it provide a 2D map?

Yes. The 2D grid resolution can be set to 2 cm, 5 cm or 10 cm.

Can I power it through USB-C?

The Aurora USB-C data port does not support power delivery. Supply the specified 12 V DC through the DC power input; do not insert a DC-conversion power cable into the data port.

Which software can I use?

Use Aurora Remote visualization software and the official Remote SDK. ROS integration is available, but not every specialized Aurora SDK feature is exposed by a ROS wrapper.

Can it operate outside?

It supports indoor and outdoor perception, within the specified temperature and optical operating conditions. Test lighting, weak textures, motion and localization quality in the actual environment; outdoor capability does not imply a waterproof enclosure.

What is included?

Slamtec Aurora 3D Mapping Sensor: 1 unit. Refer to the Packing List for this listing's included hardware.

Is this a complete autonomous robot controller?

No. It is a mapping and perception system. Navigation policies, actuation, communications supervision and required safety functions remain part of the host robot or application.
