In this episode, Krzysztof will explain us about using cheap, fast, small and light weight time of flight sensors on drones in outdoor environments.

We will discuss about distances that those sensors can reach, frequency of update, interference between sensors and how to combine rings of sensors. Krzysztof will explain how to get data from those sensors into ROS and how to convert to different types of ROS messages, like LaserScan or PointCloud2.

Selected quote:

“Those sensors are very light and very fast which make them perfect for sensorizing drones”
