最近的一篇博文中,我们讨论了什么是光栅以及如何使用它们。 光学编码器 是一种用于测量位置、速度和加速度的机电元件。Boyd 的光学编码器组件已用于打印机、扫描仪、医疗设备等多年。最近,我们的光学编码器发现了一个令人兴奋的新应用,它是 电动汽车 行业自动驾驶汽车 LiDAR(光检测和测距)传感器的重要组成部分。

什么是激光雷达传感器?

Originally developed in the 1960s for military use, LiDAR sensors use lasers to survey an area and create a 3D representation. They allow for highly accurate readings of distance and motion around the sensor and are commonly used for robotic and artificial intelligence applications. A LiDAR sensor works by rapidly emitting pulses of light, which bounce off any surrounding objects and return to the sensor. The sensor then calculates the distance from each object in real-time, providing a three-dimensional representation of the surrounding area. Recently, LiDAR technology has found its way into autonomous vehicles to aid navigation. Typically, the sensors are attached to the top and sides of a vehicle, providing a connected computer with reliable environmental perception and to navigate terrain safely in real-time.

光学编码器如何实现这一目标?

Boyd’s optical encoder disks are placed within each sensor, allowing them to accurately gauge position and rotation when the sensor emits pulses of light. Accurate positioning is crucial for autonomous vehicles, as any error in calculating position can result in inefficiencies or accidents. Most notably, this is used for navigation by analyzing the 3D rendering around the vehicle and adjusting movement accordingly to avoid obstacles. Encoder disks are also used for modifying speed to keep safe distances from other moving objects and to alter course to reduce the severity of an accident should it be unavoidable. LiDAR sensors are a versatile technology where new applications are frequently being found. Currently, they are used to gather data and create models in a wide variety of industries including agriculture, manufacturing, and forensics. Boyd is excited to provide a crucial piece of this exciting technology. To find out more about optical encoders and their many uses, reach out to our technical experts for a consultation.
