Details

Aurora S fits common ROS robot platforms for faster bring-up in mapping and navigation projects.

Aurora S combines sensing and onboard computing to deliver ready-to-use spatial perception for robots and agents.

Core capabilities include onboard AI‑VSLAM, ultra-wide vision, dense depth, semantic understanding, and open SDK access.

A compact, self-contained module designed to output mapping and positioning results directly.

Native support for ROS1 and ROS2 helps slot Aurora S into existing mapping and navigation stacks.

Onboard processing produces outputs like 6DoF pose, point clouds, depth maps, and segmentation without extra compute.

PhotoReal Map adds dense texture mapping for more readable, photorealistic scene reconstruction.

AI‑VSLAM is built to stay robust in challenging environments where conventional feature extraction can struggle.

Improved anti-interference performance supports more stable tracking and mapping in complex conditions.

Real-time loop closure and re-localization automatically correct drift to keep maps consistent.

Dense depth output aligns with RGB data to support reliable obstacle understanding and 3D reconstruction.

Generate shaded 3D point clouds while maintaining a wide field of view for indoor navigation and scanning.

Pixel-level semantic segmentation enables real-time recognition for building higher-level semantic maps.

Semantic map construction labels objects in the environment to support smarter planning and interaction.

Simple wiring and flexible power options make deployment easier for prototypes and field robots.

A highly open platform with ROS and SDK options helps connect Aurora S to existing tools and pipelines.

A Windows client supports visualization and debugging of trajectories and point-cloud results during development.

Broad hardware compatibility supports deployment across SBCs, edge AI boards, and industrial computers.

ROS1 and ROS2 SDK examples help you visualize binocular-camera feature points and review mapping results with pre-configured launch files.

The SLAMTEC Aurora S spatial perception system is suited to platforms such as humanoid robots, robot dogs, outdoor robots, AGV/AMR industrial automation, digital twins, and low-speed autonomous driving.

SLAMTEC Aurora S comes with a tutorial link plus organized basic course, ROS course, and documentation files for setup and learning.

Aurora series specs cover maximum mapping area, global relocalization accuracy, multi-sensor time sync, and camera/LiDAR options for robotics mapping and navigation.

The SLAMTEC Aurora S housing measures 98 × 80.5 mm with a 238 g net weight and includes MAX5 screw mounting holes for integration.

The package includes the Aurora S A2M2 unit and a power adapter for quick power-up during setup.
