Robot mobile Jackal avec LiDAR Ouster OS0 32 REV 6

LiDAR Ouster: a key technology for our design office's robotics projects (GR LAB)

At Génération Robots, we have our own design office (GR Lab), specialising in autonomous mobile robotics. We use the latest technologies in mobile robotics and autonomous navigation for our projects.   Ouster LiDARs play a central role in our developments, offering advanced 3D perception and mapping capabilities. Whether for research platforms, autonomous robots or scientific challenges, we integrate these high-performance sensors into our solutions.

Use of Ouster LiDARs by our engineers

Our engineers need a 3D LiDAR to carry out autonomous navigation projects for research laboratories. Ouster LiDARs are widely used in our developments because of their compatibility with current navigation algorithms and their many features.


Here are some of the projects where we have used Ouster LiDARs:

ROS 1 / ROS 2 R&D Kit

Developed by our engineers, this R&D Kit offers a turnkey robotics solution for research.

It has been designed to save assembly time:

R&D kit with LiDAR Ouster
R&D kit with LiDAR Ouster

It has the advantage of adapting to all our mobile databases: AgileX, Clearpath, Husarion, etc.

Ouster LiDARs, in particular the OS0 32 and OS0 128 models, are integrated into this kit to offer advanced perception and navigation capabilities.

“Ouster LiDARs offer us more functionality than other LiDAR brands, while being directly compatible with today’s navigation algorithms. Their ultra-compact format makes them easy to integrate on different platforms, and the HD image quality enables precise perception of the environment.”

Spot Freiburg

As part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Mining Challenge, we designed and integrated a payload for Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot.

This project, carried out for the University of Fribourg, aims to send Spot into underground environments for mapping and reconnaissance.

As part of this project, the Ouster OS0-128 LiDAR was chosen for its performance.

Mobilex Challenge

Launched in February 2023, the Mobilex challenge aims to accelerate research into the autonomous mobility of ground vehicles in complex environments (damaged roads, obstacles, etc.). It brings together seven mixed teams from industry and laboratories.

Génération Robots is taking part in this project and using Ouster LiDARs to locate and navigate its robot. These sensors make it possible to:

Two Ouster OS0 128 REV 7 LiDARs are used on our robot (one at the front and one at the rear) to ensure optimum perception of the environment.

University of Turin

We have been working on a research laboratory platform that will be used at Turin airport (more information coming soon).

We have integrated an LiDAR Ouster OS0 32 REV 6 on the Jackal mobile robot from Clearpath Robotics for navigation and mapping applications.
