Large automated scanning by quadruped robot

We equipped a quadruped robot with a 3D LiDAR sensor mounted on a robotic arm. The mobile platform communicates with a remote server via a 5G modem connected to a public 5G network. A 3D digital twin of the environment is first generated using our SLAM algorithm, allowing us to define Regions of Interest (ROIs) within the map. The robot then autonomously navigates to each ROI, scans the area in detail, and reconstructs a high-resolution point cloud. This data is transmitted to the server for visualisation and further post-processing, such as model generation or comparison with CAD references, while the robot returns to its base station.
