Ruby Plus, a new generation 128-line LiDAR, is designed for L4 commercial operation.
Product Overview
Ruby Plus is a new flagship 128-line LiDAR by RoboSense, featuring a modular andinnovative design for L4+ autonomous driving. It breaks through the measurementrange to 240 meters at 10% reflectivity and offers a vertical angle resolution of 0.1and a horizontal angle resolution of 0.1° (high-performance mode). It provides denserpoint cloud information in both vertical and horizontal directions, enablinglong-distance detection of pedestrians and vehicles and significantly increasingresponse time for high-speed driving. Additionally, Ruby Plus exhibits enhancedground and lane detection capabilities.
Compared to the previous generation product, Ruby Plus has reduced its volume by52%, weight by 50%, and power consumption by 33%.
It mainly includes the following components:
- Protective Cover：Both the emitted laser and returned laser need to pass through the specially designed arc-shaped protective cover. Therefore, any obstruction within the laser’s field of view (FOV) is strictly prohibited.
- Aviation Connector：The LiDAR main body is connected to the interface box via aviation connectors.enabling power supply and data transmission. Ruby Plus has two aviation connectorson its base: a 4-core communication aviation connector and a 16-core power and I/Osignal connection aviation connector.
- Mounting Holes：Used to support and fix the position and orientation between the LiDAR and thebracket, it enhances installation efficiency and accuracy.
- M3 Screw Mounting Holes：Used to secure the LiDAR to the mounting bracket with M4 screws.
FOV Distribution
Ruby Plus has a horizontal FOV range of 0° to 360° and a vertical FOV range of -25to +15°, with a minimum angle interval of 0.1° non-uniformly distributed. The 128lasers are defined as 128 channels, and their correspondence with the actual verticalangles is shown in Figure 2 (b).
