What? I've seen lots of autonomous robots that operate at 10 Hz, including mission critical systems for the military. Compared to cameras, which might operate as fast as 60 Hz (but are far more likely to operate at 30 Hz or a fraction thereof) I am confused where you're getting these numbers from. Do you have any citations?
- joshvm 9y ago20Hz refers to a single point measurement, as this is (to the best of my knowledge) a 1D LIDAR. Every 45 ms you make a single range measurement. You still need to scan the sensor head to image your scene. Though as the parent comment mentions, it may have gotten lost in the noise somewhere. There's no way GM is using this as a 1D sensor on a car.
- posterboy 9y agothe light cone doesn't have to be focused, a single scan can illuminate a big area, it should be enough that the phase is coherent over the area. or so I'd imagine, but on the other hand, a 100ms ping doesn't mean 10*packetsize throughput per second on the internet either.
