What is a
ROBOT-READY
building?


Set a robot in the doorway; click where you want it to go on the floorplan on your display. In a Robot-Ready building, the robot will drive there, avoiding obstacles along the way -- to bring supplies to a hazardous area, to gather sensor data, or to perform whatever task you care to set it to! When a building is mapped with LaserPlans or other raster-based as-built scan, any robot with MotivityTM
can autonomously navigate the building.

MobileRobots LaserPlans revolutionizes as-builts and verification for the professional service company by cutting measurement time as much as 8-fold while maintaining laser-based measurement precision! LaserPlans collects thousands of measurements per room to show its shape, interior wall thickness and position in the floor plan sketch. Export sketches to .dxf and .jpg layers for tracing into CAD. Scale factor is pre-calculated and origins are aligned during import to CAD. Better yet -- leave plans in raster form for robot-ready buildings!


As-Builts and Verification: LaserPlans  cuts manpower needed to verify existing plans, create layouts for presentation. LaserPlans:
  • Cuts measurement time by a factor of 4 or more
  • Cuts work hours by a factor of 8 or more
  • Automates the sketching process
  • Minimizes on-site interference in the clients' operations
  • Automatically embeds photo links in floorplans
"I will definitely use LaserPlans again the next time I make an as-built!"

Engineering Proposals & Reports: Whether you're preparing a proposal for GIS, environmental engineering, security, building automation or even IT installation, LaserPlans improves your ability to estimate your expenses and provides you with floor-plan sketches quickly and inexpensively:
  • Bid more accurately
  • Produce building sketches for use in proposals
Emergency Preparedness: LaserPlans allows hundreds of properties to be mapped quickly and inexpensively, so that security professionals, engineers, firefighters, homeland security and other rescue teams can:
  • Quickly and inexpensively map all high-risk buildings
  • Identify escape and rescue routes using the plans
  • Provide maps to responders in case of emergency

LASERPLANS TECHNOLOGY

The
LaserPlans data collector can reproduce the actual shape of a room, even if it's curved! LaserPlans' laser-rangefinder scans 360 points over a 180 degree sweep simultaneously, so it measures up to 1,000 sq. ft. per minute with resolution up to 0.04 inch, <1% cumulative linear error and <0.1% area error in a building of 15,000sf or greater. Because of  unique dynamic position updating software, absolute accuracy is not dependent upon building size. Recommended range is 10 feet from the device to the nearest wall. LaserPlans can measure buildings of any size.

LPD AREA ACCURACY

Data shown is for a 15,000sf building. Testing is based on comparison with Leica Disto Pro A model laser range finder (listed accuracy +/- 1.5mm).
 
Avg. Difference         +/-6.94mm / 0.27in.
Avg. % Error              0.09%
Avg. Std. Deviation    5.32mm / 0.21in.
