It definitely works pretty well. I'm doing work currently with a robotic arm and hand doing random, unplanned tasks. I'm testing out different scenarios with lidar units placed on the ceiling and walls, and directly on the arm and hand, in combination with traditional camera based object detection.
Combining the real-time data together is straightforward, but figuring out how to optimally take advantage of it all is definitely a challenge. Having the extra dimension or sense definitely helps though.
I see it helping most in tasks that require a lot of dexterity, such as multiple digits working together, where a camera lens would be too close to the object or covered by the item in the task (folding a blanket etc), blocking light.
