The safety laser scanners detect objects in a plane approximately 200 mm above ground.
Objects above or below are not detected by the safety laser scanners.
Figure 3.4. The two safety laser scanners together provide a full 360° view around the robot.
When in motion, the safety laser scanners continuously scan the surroundings using a
distance of up to 40 m while taking into account and weighing the viewed objects in a so-
called "particle filter".
When mapping, the safety laser scanner’s view is reduced to 20 m to ensure that maps will
get the highest possible quality.
Figure 3.5. The safety laser scanners see up to 20 m when mapping an area.
