Home/Journal/Obstacle Avoidance Using 2D LiDAR on a Following Cart: Obstacle Detection & Sensor Fusion A following cart needs enough clear space to stop at its current speed with its current load. A single-line 2D LiDAR helps estimate that clearance by measuring visible surfaces across one horizontal plane. Here is how that scan plane translates into…
