We have an application in mind which will require developing a navigation/hazard avoidance sensor system for an experimental mobile robot platform. I am interested in gathering information regarding potential sources and/or specifications of commercially available laser radar systems. In particular, I would like to compile a survey of laser radar state of the art in terms of: - Range Accuracy - Standoff - Ambiguity Interval - X-Y (Angular) Resolution - Field of View - Acquistion (Frame) Rate - Range Resolution (8 vs. 12 bits) - Cost We have developed prototype laser radar systems in-house which have been targeted for high performance applications. I would like to become current on other available sources for performance vs. cost comparison purposes. Any information would be appreciated. -- ===================================================================== Robert Baskins - Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) P.O Box 8618 NET: baskins@csd460a.erim.org Ann Arbor, MI 48107 PHONE: (313) 994-1200 (x2938) =====================================================================
