LEICA BLK ARC

Autonomous Laser Scanning Module


BE AUTONOMOUS

BLK ARC is a versatile mobile scanning module for robots and other carriers. It can be integrated with robotic carriers to enable autonomous mobile laser scanning.

Below are a few instances of the integrations at your disposal. for the comprehensive list or to delve deeper into incorporating BLK ARC into your solution using the provided APIs.

The BLK ARC mounts to different types of robots, using its sensors along with the robot's sensors to create fully autonomous and repeatable scan missions.

Capture 3D point clouds and panoramic imagery while your robot carries BLK ARC through an environment.

TAKE THE AUTONOMOUS JOURNEY WITH US

The BLK ARC is a versatile laser scanning module that can work with multiple different types of robotic carriers.

Here are some examples of the available integrations. for the complete list or to hear more about how to make BLK ARC part of your in-house solutions using the ARC API.

Our first robotic carrier was the Boston Dynamics Spot robot. Spot combined with BLK ARC delivers fully autonomous and repeatable scan missions.

ANYmal from ANYbotics is a robot that integrates with the Leica BLK ARC for autonomous reality capture. Using the BLK ARC, ANYmal creates detailed 3D models. The BLK ARC deeply integrates with the robot’s operating interface and generates a high precision digital twin instantly.

BLK ARC and ANYmal from ANYbotics create an autonomous way to inspect challenging environments

Summit XL from Robotnik is an advanced all-terrain wheeled robot that, combined with the BLK ARC, autonomously navigates difficult environments. Managed by remote control or operating on its own, the BLK ARC with Summit XL collects spatial data to map environments and create detailed 3D models.

ARC: AUTONOMOUS
REALITY CAPTURE

BLK ARC combined with robotic carriers creates a fast, simple, safe, and autonomous laser scanning workflow.

Chart your scan path remotely using existing drawings or BIM models of your building, including large and complex spaces.

BLK ARC and your robot will complete the mission autonomously.

Once your mission is complete, your data is ready to use.

Optional add-on:

Seamless positioning for outdoor missions

Unlock carefree outdoor missions with easy touch-2-go navigation using a combination of GNSS and GrandSLAM technologies. Leica GA03 GNSS Smart Antenna is designed for robotics applications, with high performance in challenging environments. All this is integrated into our BLK ARC-UI for smooth operation.
