Perception Solutions - RS-Fusion-P5 Robosense (LiDAR)

RS-Fusion-P5 : zero blind spots

With this new all-in-one solution to make mobile vehicles and robots even more autonomous, Robosense offers to combine two of its most powerful laser sensors. The LIDAR RS-RUBY, champion of long-distance detection with its 200 m maximum range, and the LIDAR RS-BPEARL, specialist in near-field technology.. The combination of these two devices (one RUBY, four PEARLs) thus allows the RS-Fusion-P5 to cover all blind spots, with a high level of sensitivity, precision and resolution.

We can therefore only praise the performance of this system designed for the development of Robo-Taxis:

• Laser points of more than 4,600,000pts per second;
• Able to reach 200m detection range in front, behind and on the sides;
• The removal of all blind spots, as difficult to reach as they are;
• A complete 360° surrounding view;
• Hemisphere FOV scanning area.

Real-time data synchronization

This was already the case with the RS-Fusion-P3 model, but Robosense raises the level obtained with Waymo's LIDAR solution by a few degrees with the development of highly sophisticated calculation algorithms.

Obstacle detection, lane tracking, geolocation, environmental analysis: the millions of data acquired by the five LIDARs of the RS-Fusion-P5 are collected and synchronized in real time. Laser encryption technology cleans up any interference, while the sensors remain indifferent to the most intense direct natural light.

Finally, the Robosense solution positions itself as a major support for the development of navigational technologies and decision-making assistance. Its ability to analyze and classify obstacles effectively, as well as to accurately measure thresholds, heights and widths (of tunnels for example) makes it a multidimensional perception system we can rely on.
