RPLIDAR S2 is a new generation of low-cost two-dimensional laser ranging radar (LIDAR), which can perform a 360-degree omnidirectional laser ranging scan within a 30-meter radius of a two-dimensional plane, and generate a flat point cloud map of the space in which it is located information. This cloud map information can be used in practical applications such as map surveying and mapping, robot positioning and navigation, and object/environment modeling.

RPLIDAR S2 adopts laser time-of-flight ranging technology, coupled with the high-speed laser acquisition and processing mechanism developed by SLAMTEC, which can perform 32,000 ranging actions per second. It uses non-contact energy and signal transmission technology, overcomes the life limitation of traditional lidar, and can operate reliably and stably for a long time.

Compared with other series of lidars, RPLIDAR S2 has a more stable ranging performance when detecting long-distance objects, switching between black and white objects, and strong light-directing objects. It can achieve ideal mapping within a 30-meter ranging radius in indoor and outdoor environments. As a result, the scope of the application can be expanded to more consumer-level commercial scenarios.
