1. Product Overview Aurora is a newly created positioning and mapping perception sensor by SLAMTEC that integrates laser, vision, inertial navigation, and deep learning technologies. sensor does require external dependencies and can achieve indoor and outdoor 3D high-precision mapping with six degrees of freedom positioning capability upon startup.
Laser-Vision-IMU fusion from SLAMTEC. Combined with visual and laser characteristics, it can perform map data fusion more than 10 times per second and draw up to one million square meters of map data. SLAMTEC provides a toolchain for secondary development, including visual interaction tools RoboStudio, C++ SDK, JAVA SDK, Restful API SDK, ROS SDK, etc.

2.4 WIFI Aurora comes with a 2.4G/5G dual-band WiFi chip, which is configured as AP mode by default. After Aurora is turned on, a hotspot named "SLAMWARE-Aurora-xxxxxx" is automatically generated. The specific hotspot name can be found on the device label.
3.2 Aurora boots up Use DC12V 2A power supply to power up the device. 3.3 Connect laptop to Aurora hotspot 3.4 Start RoboStudio Start RoboStudio, click "File" - > "Robot", right-click on the blank space in the "Robot" navigation bar, and select "Manually Connect Robot".
"Settings", and then click "Restart Application". Scene strategy description: Aurora supports two scenarios, and users can choose the appropriate scenario strategy according to the actual mapping scenario. The scenarios and their scenario strategies recommended by SLAMTEC are as follows.
3.6 Initialize Aurora Point the Aurora camera at a place with more features. Click Robostudio - > "SLAM" - > "Clear Map". After clearing the map, an "exclamation mark" will be displayed on the RoboStudio interface. Keep the device stationary and wait for initialization to complete.
During initialization, ensure that the equipment is as stable as possible. • During initialization, Aurora should target areas with more features within 2-3 meters, avoiding environments with fewer features such as open plains, refractive environments such as large areas of glass, and areas with more dynamic objects to ensure sufficient initialization features and obtain better data results.

stops or movements will affect the accuracy and effectiveness of mapping to a certain extent. • After the loop returns to the starting point, keep the robot moving, take more overlapping paths, and do not stop moving immediately. • After returning to the origin of the loop, if the map is not closed, continue walking until the loop is closed.
