LIDAR on an autonomous vehicle
Remember the last time we made autonomous car. It was cool, and surely it might be something you can show off to your friends. However, now what we are about to make is surely cooler than anything we have ever done till now.
We are going to put this area scanner over our robotic vehicle. But wait, didn't we scan the area earlier using the same sensor and turning the car to other sides. We did it and it worked fine, almost fine. I bet sometimes it wasn't as accurate as you thought it would be. But that's not the real problem. The main problem is that it was not seamless. It has to stop in between check for spaces and then move in either direction. What we are going to do now is something that is a step ahead. So before doing any more explanation, let's go ahead and make this new robotic vehicle and then you be the judge to decide whether it is cooler.
So, to make it, you need to mount the area scanner on the vehicle. It's advisable that you set it up at the...
