Hexagon AB, a global provider of digital reality solutions, has introduced the Leica BLK ARC and BLK2FLY, extending its BLK series with fully autonomous mobile reality capture.
The BLK ARC is a laser scanning sensor purpose-built to improve the autonomous navigation of robots and other carrier platforms to deliver fully autonomous mobile laser scanning. It can safely and repeatedly capture accurate 3D point clouds and panoramic images of changing environments with minimal user intervention. The sensor is compatible with the Boston Dynamics Spot and can be easily integrated with other autonomous robotic carriers.
The BLK2FLY also introduces the next generation of flight safety with advanced autonomous obstacle avoidance. Sensor fusion of LiDAR, radar, cameras and GNSS ensures optimal and safe flight paths. Users can seamlessly combine data from the unit with interior scans of buildings and structures captured with the 2 Leica BLK2GO, handheld 3D scanner. The resulting colorized 3D point clouds can be used in building information modelling (BIM) processes, including documenting site conditions.
Both scanning sensors connect directly to Hexagon’s HxDR cloud-based visualization platform for instant delivery of a purpose-built smart digital reality to anyone who needs it.
