Lidar Services Interface

Lidar service interface

Software Service Version Requirements

Lidar Driver >= 1.0.0.5. If the built-in service version is low, please contact technical support to upgrade to the correct version.

Basic Information

The Mid-360 lidar is located in the middle of the head of the G1 robot. The coordinate relationship between the IMU inside the Mid-360 and the radar is (0.011, 0.02329, -0.04412) (unit: meter), and there is no rotational transformation. It can be represented by the following transformation matrix.

$$ \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 & 0.011\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0.02329 \ 0 & 0 & 1 & -0.04412\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} $$

The position relationship of the lidar coordinate system relative to the robot coordinate system is (-0.0, 0.0, -0.47618), and the placement method is inverted. The pitch axis inclination of the Mid-360 lidar is -2.3 degrees.

Data Interface

The emitted data are point cloud and IMU data in DDS format respectively; the point cloud topic is rt/utlidar/cloud_livox_mid360 with an output frequency of 10Hz and a frame_id of "livox_frame"; the IMU topic is rt/utlidar/imu_livox_mid360 with an output frequency of 200Hz.
