## Description

![RPLIDAR S3 with Smaller size and Better performance, SLAMTEC Ecosystem, Smooth Upgrading](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/1_4726569b445.png)**SLAMTEC self-developed SL-TOF (SLAMTEC Direct Time-of-Flight)**

SLAMTEC self-developed L-T0F distance measurement technology improves environmental light immunity and measurement accuracy.

![SLAMTEC self-developed SL-TOF](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/2_12739f652af.png)**A stable and fixed 40-meter measurement radius**

Even at 70% reflectance, RPLiDAR S3 can ensure an accurate distance measurement of about 40m, meeting the requirements for medium to long-range scanning.

![A stable and fixed 40-meter measurement radius](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/3_88303a65cde.png)**Low reflectivity at 15 meters measurement radius**

RPLiDAR S3 performs equally well in measuring distances when facing low-reflectivity objects such as black color doors and anti-reflective coating objects. It can measure up to a distance of 15 meters with a 10% reflectivity.

![Low reflectivity at 15 meters measurement radius](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/4_56838db18eb.png)**32,000 times/second High-Speed Sampling Capabilities**

RPLiDAR S3 demonstrates exceptional capabilities in real-time perception, precise positioning, and target detection. Its high-speed sampling frequency allows it to capture a greater amount of point cloud data, enabling faster and more accurate mapping.

![32,000 times/second High-Speed Sampling Capabilities](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5_84287900d1e.png)**80,000Lux anti-interference ability of ambient light**

Thanks to hardware optimization, the RPlidar S3 effectively reduced light interference and provides accurate laser ranging data, regardless of challenging conditions such as indoor strong lighting or direct sunlight outdoors.

![80,000Lux anti-interference ability of ambient light](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/6_26109d680e8.png)**Smaller size, better performance**

RPlidar S3 is compact and sleek, with a total height of only 4cm, making it the smallest LiDAR product by SLAMTEC. It is cost-effective while overcoming the limitations of space and catering to various application scenarios.

![Smaller size, better performance](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/7_14075ea31bd.png)**Compatible with the SLAMTEC ecosystem**

RPlidar S3 is highly compatible with SLAMTEC’s software, firmware, and hardware interfaces. It also provides a seamless transition in terms of size with SLAMTEC’s existing products, ensuring smooth integration.

![Compatible with the SLAMTEC ecosystem](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/8_197327f87cf.png)**Support Various Development Platforms**

SLAMTEC provides users with SDK development kits that can run on x86 Windows, x86 Linux, arm Linux, and other platforms to match various development applications.

![Support Various Development Platforms](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/9_685450a1a94.png)**CLASS 1 Laser Safety Standard**

RPLIDAR S3 adopts the low power infrared laser light as its light source, and drives it by modulated pulse. It reaches Class 1 Laser Safety Standard which can ensure its safety to human eyes.
