Description
Summary:In the past ten years, the use of 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDARs in mobile robotics has grown rapidly. Based on our accumulation of relevant research, this article systematically reviews and analyzes the use 3D ToF LiDARs in research and industrial applications. The former includes object detection, robot localization, long-term autonomy, LiDAR data processing under adverse weather conditions, and sensor fusion. The latter encompasses service robots, assisted and autonomous driving, and recent applications performed in response to public health crises. We hope that our efforts can effectively provide readers with relevant references and promote the deployment of existing mature technologies in real-world systems.
