The M1 is an autonomous mobile 3D mapping robot which creates photorealistic indoor 3D maps and uses new technologies such as real-time 3D SLAM and hierarchical motion planning. It features an extended distance and speed measurement system, an accurate sense of proportion, and it scans at a speed of 300,000 points per second, with a horizontal field of view of 360 degrees and a vertical field of view of 30 degrees. The conical shaped body, with engine and batteries at the bottom, lowers the centre of gravity and increases driving safety.
Statement by the Jury
With a compact, clear design, the M1 is a highly functional mapping robot suitable for a variety of applications.
