RPLIDAR is a low cost LIDAR sensor suitable for indoor robotic SLAM application. It provides 360 degree scan field, 5.5hz/10hz rotating frequency with guaranteed 8 meter ranger distance. By means of the high speed image processing engine designed by RoboPeak, the whole cost are reduced greatly, RPLIDAR is the ideal sensor in cost sensitive areas like robots consumer and hardware hobbyist. Besides, ROS (Robot Operating System) is a popular software library for robotics programming. It is free, open-source, and used by robotics researchers and companies around the world. In this page, you will find a gallery of RPLIDAR Tutorials, some of them basing on ROS platforms.
Within DFRobot.com, there are two versions of RPLIDAR products available. One is RPLIDAR A1M8 - 360 Degree Laser Scanner Development Kit(SKU:DFR0315),

and the other is a high performance version RPLIDAR A2 - 360 Degree Laser Scanner Development Kit (SKU:DFR0445),
