SLAMTEC Aurora AI-Powered 3D Mapping & 6DOF Positioning Sensor (ROS2 Compatible)

Building the next generation of autonomous robots—whether a delivery drone for city parks, a humanoid robot for complex inspections, or an agricultural AMR for vast fields—presents a core challenge: enabling the machine to truly see, understand, and navigate its surroundings. Traditional approaches demand deep expertise in sensor fusion, often resulting in robots getting lost after the painstaking integration of separate sensors. The SLAMTEC Aurora changes everything. Born from over a decade of expertise, it ends this complexity as the industry's first all-in-one sensor. It seamlessly merges LiDAR, binocular vision, IMU, and AI to deliver instant, high-precision 3D maps and 6DOF positioning for the most ambitious robotics projects. Aurora is not just a sensor, but a complete perception solution that saves expert teams months of R&D and integration work.

AI + SLAM: A New Era of Perception

The Aurora achieves what was once considered a fundamental conflict in robotics: the harmonious marriage of LiDAR and vision. At its core is a powerful fusion of 2D LiDAR, binocular fisheye cameras, a 6DOF IMU, and a dedicated AI processor. This isn't just a hardware bundle; it's a deeply integrated system powered by proprietary deep learning models. This eliminates the need for in-house sensor fusion experts and bypasses years of complex algorithm development.

Its proprietary neural network models go beyond simple geometry to extract concise, meaningful features from the environment—the texture of a wall, the edge of a curb, subtle changes in terrain. This allows Aurora to build hyper-accurate maps and maintain its position with incredible stability, even when spinning rapidly or moving through visually repetitive or feature-poor areas.

Even when faced with high-speed rotation, Aurora's AI-driven perception captures millisecond-level position changes, ensuring the platform is never lost.

Embrace the 3D World, Indoors and Out

The SLAMTEC Aurora is engineered for the age of embodied intelligence. It delivers full 3D, 6DOF spatial positioning right out of the box, with no external dependencies required. Once powered on, it's ready to work. This makes it the perfect partner for humanoid robots, robotic dogs, and other advanced mobile platforms that need to navigate complex, real-world terrain.

From challenging the dark to mapping at high speeds, the Aurora's performance remains exceptional, providing a continuous stream of high-quality positioning and mapping data.

Unprecedented Scale and Detail

The power of this new architecture is best demonstrated by its sheer scale. The Aurora can successfully map the entire 47.7 km inner ring road of Shanghai, an area of 120 square kilometers, in a single run. This level of performance opens up possibilities for previously unimaginable applications.

While providing a rich 3D point cloud, Aurora also synchronizes the output of a high-precision, top-down 2D laser grid map. This brilliant feature facilitates the rapid migration of existing 2D-based navigation algorithms, protecting the software investment while upgrading to a 3D world.

Compact, Sleek, and Ready to Integrate

Powerful technology does not need to be bulky. The Aurora’s compact and sleek design takes up minimal space, making it easy to integrate into any robotic system. Operation is incredibly straightforward:
