Geospatial technology supplier 3D Laser Mapping has launched an innovative ‘three-in-one’ multi-platform mapping system.

Known as ROBIN, the new platform is the first of its kind on the market and provides three alternative mapping options rolled into one solution. The versatile system allows users to benefit from the ability to map areas via walking, driving or flying.

ROBIN provides a multi-purpose all round system, integrating a 12 MP camera (for drive) and 18MP (for walk and fly), two GNSS antennas, GIS grade IMU navigation system, touch screen control unit, three mounting systems, capture software, a post-processing software package and has a field of view of 330 degrees. Long-range and precision versions are also available.

The three-in-one mapping solution, allows mounting onto cars, RPAS or field workers.

 “ROBIN is an extremely exciting product for the industry and is the first on the market to offer a three-in-one system.” said Graham Hunter, executive chairman at 3D Laser Mapping.

“Covering a wide range of terrain, ROBIN allows high quality data capture from areas such as footpaths, forests and coastlines that are only accessible by foot. Our customers are looking for flexible solutions that can support a high return on investment – and this product offers a unique value proposition”

“GeoBusiness is recognised as one of the leading trade shows in our sector and we’ve been in attendance for the past three years. It’s an event where we’ve made some quality new business leads, as well as strengthening relationships with current clients, so we decided this would be the perfect place to showcase ROBIN for the very first time.”

Mark Hudson, managing director of consulting geospatial engineers and chartered land surveyors, Geoterra, is looking forward to seeing ROBIN enter the market after receiving an advanced preview.

“Geoterra is very excited about the launch of the new ROBIN multi-platform mapping system,
Hudson commented. “It’s become evident that there’s a gap in the sector for this kind of product and we’re sure it’ll prove to be an extremely popular addition to the marketplace.

3D Laser Mapping also has also revealed plans in place to launch an indoor mapping SLAM upgrade for ROBIN later in the year.
