Abstract
- Lidar and radar sensors are widely used to obtain depth information for various applications in the field of robotics, such as navigation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">[1]</xref>, collision avoidance <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">[2]</xref>, surveillance <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">[3]</xref>, and map generation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">[4]</xref>. These two sensors are becoming increasingly popular as perception systems for autonomous mobile robots. However, as a result of their versatility and popularity, lidar and radar sensors come in a variety of specifications, sizes, and prices. Consequently, it has become essential to quantitatively evaluate these two sensors from various situational perspectives. This is required for a comprehensive selection of the most appropriate sensors or combinations thereof for the target applications.
