LiDAR SLAMTEC RPLIDAR Aurora S

Buy the innovative SLAMTEC Aurora S spatial awareness system for your robot or drone

SLAMTEC Aurora S is not just a lidar, but a fully integrated AI spatial perception system. It combines 2D LiDAR, binocular vision, 6-axis IMU and powerful AI processor in one compact module. The device works out of the box and does not require external dependencies. Aurora S delivers highly accurate 3D mapping and six-degree-of-degree (6DOF) positioning for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The SLAMTEC brand is a world leader in robotic navigation and SLAM solutions. The company has been developing innovative lidars and algorithms for more than ten years. Aurora S is the result of deep integration of lidar, vision, inertial navigation and deep learning. This is the industry's first product solution that uses deep neural networks for navigation..

• Mapping area exceeds 1,000,000 m² to cover vast areas.
• Centimeter-level positioning accuracy for flawless navigation.
• Integration of lidar, stereo cameras and IMU for complete spatial awareness.
• VSLAM's own AI engine recognizes objects and segments the scene in real time.
• Compact size of 500 grams for installation on any mobile platforms.

How the Aurora S spatial awareness system works

The system combines two sensor modules: binocular cameras with global shutter and optional external lidar RPLIDAR S2 or S3. Built-in AI engine based on deep learning processes data in real time. Aurora S creates a dense depth map, recognizes objects and builds a 3D map with centimeter accuracy. The system supports hot-swappable external lidar and synchronization with GPS/RTK and odometry.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The maximum mapping area exceeds 1,000,000 m². Global repositioning accuracy is ±5 cm. Cameras: binocular with a viewing angle of 180° and a frame rate of 15 Hz. The sampling rate of the external lidar reaches 32 kHz. The system recognizes objects in 18 outdoor and 80 indoor scenarios. Operating temperature ranges from -20 to +50°C. Typical power consumption without lidar is 10 W.

The system supports SDK for C++, ROS1/ROS2 and Python for rapid development. Aurora S is ideal for embodied intelligence, industrial automation, digital twins and autonomous driving.
