SICK’s newest multiScan100 family uses time of flight (TOF) measurement to create a 3D perception of its surroundings. To begin, SICK is launching the multiScan136, with a planned launch in the future for more products in the multiScan product family.

 Self-localization via 3D LiDAR: everything around the vehicle in view

With the launch of the multiScan product family, SICK presents 3D LiDAR sensors that provide mobile platforms with a 360° all-round view in 3D. Due to the up to 690,000 measuring points, the multiScan100 achieves a state-of-the-art precision with which nothing in its environment escapes its notice. 

 With its compact design of around 10 cm and the support of industrial interfaces, a high degree of integration-friendliness is guaranteed. The first variant, the multiScan136, delivers 3D measurement data that can be used for precise self-localization of vehicles while simultaneously mapping the environment (SLAM, for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). In addition, the 3D LiDAR sensors can detect falling edges or obstacles in 3D.
