Typical Applications:

Robotics & autonomy

• Indoor robot navigation / SLAM — mapping rooms, corridors, warehouses
• Obstacle avoidance — AGVs, delivery bots, service robots
• Docking / localization — find walls, corners, charging stations
• Coverage robots — vacuum/mop path planning and room boundary detection

Smart buildings & security

• People/object presence in a zone — count occupancy in a lobby or aisle (not face ID)
• Intrusion / perimeter watch indoors — detect unexpected movement in a sealed area
• Door / gate clearance — check if a path is blocked before opening

Industrial & warehouse

• Aisle monitoring — detect pallets, carts, or blocked lanes
• Machine safety zone — soft stop when something enters a keep-out radius
• Shelf / rack clearance checks — rough distance to obstacles while moving

Education & makers

• ROS1 / ROS2 teaching kits — mapping demos, costmaps, teleop with LiDAR
• Graduation / mechatronics projects — 2D map building, obstacle-avoiding car
• Museum / STEM demos — live point-cloud viewer with your LidarViewer

Light automation

• Smart wheelchair / cart assist — warn or slow near walls
• Stage/prop robots — keep clear of people and props indoors
• Greenhouse / lab carts — navigate fixed indoor layouts
