AEC TECH NEWS: 3D Laser Mapping launches multiplatform mapping system

Geospatial technology supplier, 3D Laser Mapping, launched a multi-platform mapping system named ROBIN that provides three alternative mapping options rolled into one solution. The versatile system allows users to benefit from the ability to map areas via walking, driving or flying.

ROBIN integrates a 12 MP camera (for drive) and 18MP (for walk and fly), two GNSS antennas, GIS grade IMU navigation system, touch screen control unit, three mounting systems, capture software, a post-processing software package and has a field of view of 330 degrees. Long-range and precision versions are also available.

Graham Hunter, executive chairman at 3D Laser Mapping, said, “ROBIN is an extremely exciting product for the industry and is the first on the market to offer a three-in-one system. Covering a wide range of terrain, ROBIN allows high quality data capture from areas such as footpaths, forests and coastlines that are only accessible by foot. Our customers are looking for flexible solutions that can support a high return on investment – and this product offers a unique value proposition. 

3D Laser Mapping also has plans in place to launch an indoor mapping SLAM upgrade for ROBIN later in the year.
