Robosense Airy


Description

Airy is a new type of short-range 3D LiDAR specifically designed by RoboSense to eliminate blind spots. It is primarily used in applications such as robot environment perception, autonomous vehicle environment perception, drone mapping, and smart cities.

Airy adopts RoboSense's innovative signal processing technology, allowing for a minimum detection distance as close as 10 centimeters. With its hemispherical, ultra-wide field-of-view design, it can effectively detect various extremely close-range obstacles over a large area.

Mechanical Installation

Screw Specifications:

  • GB / T70.1, M3 × 8, hex socket cap head, strength grade 10.9, with anti-loosening;

Installation Requirements:

  • The flatness of the installation surface should be better than 0.2 mm.

  • Use 3 M3 screws to install on the base, extending 4 – 5 mm from the installation surface. Recommended tightening torque is 13 ±1 kgf.cm.

  • Use 2 Φ 4 positioning pins on the base for installation alignment, not exceeding a height of 4 mm.

  • When installing the LiDAR, if both the top and bottom of the LiDAR have contact surfaces, ensure the distance between the surfaces is greater than the height of the LiDAR to avoid compressing it.

  • When routing the LiDAR cables, do not make them overly tight (leave an installation margin of more than 2 cm) to ensure a degree of slack in the cables.

Bracket Stiffness and Strength Requirements:

  • The fixed bracket needs to have good rigidity for securely mounting the LiDAR and maintaining the LiDAR in a stable state under various conditions. Therefore, the first-order modal frequency of the LiDAR and its fixed bracket should be at least greater than 50 Hz.

  • The LiDAR will undergo various random vibrations and mechanical shocks during use. Under these conditions, the bracket needs to withstand significant loads, so it also requires sufficient strength. The bracket material is recommended to be aluminum alloy (thickness above 4 mm) or galvanized steel plate (thickness above 2 mm). Strengthening ribs should be added in various directions to improve its rigidity and strength as much as possible. It is advisable to avoid designing structures with sharp angles, corners less than 0.3 mm, or notches, which may cause stress concentration. The bracket strength needs to be verified through simulation.

Heat Dissipation Requirements:

  • The bracket material is recommended to be made of aluminum alloy or galvanized steel plate with a thermal conductivity greater than 50 W/m·K. Some heat dissipation fins should be added to the bracket, with reasonable spacing, height, and direction of the fins to increase the heat dissipation area. The direction should align with the air convection direction for more effective heat dissipation.

  • Ensure that the LiDAR base or top cover is not covered with non-metallic materials to avoid affecting the overall heat dissipation, leading to excessive temperature rise ofthe LiDAR.

  • If you cannot ensure proper heat dissipation, please communicate with our Field Application Engineer (FAE) in advance to determine a suitable cooling solution and prevent the LiDAR from overheating, which could affect the product's performance or lifespan.

Storage

Important

  • Store the product in an indoor environment with normal temperature and dry conditions;

  • Handle the product gently to avoid impact or dropping;

  • The product should be stored in a safe environment to avoid corrosion, mechanical impact, or exposure to environments exceeding the protection level;

  • Regularly inspect the condition of all components and packaging, and it is recommended to check every three months.
