Which group SICK microScan3 belongs to and how it is built
Safety Components is a subcategory of hardware elements related to the functional and operational safety of robotic systems. It encompasses E-stop modules, safety relays, circuit breakers, protective circuits, interlocks, and other components that limit the risk of failure or accident. These elements are relevant across industrial, service, and mobile robotics.
LiDAR is a distance sensor that uses laser beams to measure space and generate data about the surrounding environment. In robotics, it is used for navigation, SLAM, mapping, obstacle avoidance, and environmental perception. Depending on the model, it can provide 2D, 3D, or more advanced spatial representations. LiDAR is one of the primary sensors in mobile, autonomous, and humanoid robots.
