Project to clone the Neato Lidar
This guy is reverse engineering the Neato Robotics Lidar system, which is by far the lowest-cost Lidar availalble. Neato has so far not made the Lidar available as a stand-alone product, thus this effort to clone and open source it.
A cheap and light Lidar system could open up a whole new class of UAVs that could navigate indoors and outside of GPS coverage. One way or another, it looks like that's on the way.

Awesome once it's viable APM could integrate the same might need an extra processor to do processing :)

Nicee!! considering so inexpensive ( compared to other lidar radars) actually it can open a new market for the Neato. Adopting it for APM... jummm!! ( sounds like a APM 2.5 (as upgrade) or APM 3.0 can be born out of this jeje ).. I think a went to far beyond in my imag.. jeje Hope to hear good news from this one soon!
