Here you can see an early version of our rover next to Gergő's dog, who isn't of the kuvasz breed but incredibly cute nonetheless.

To map the terrain, we place a rotating LIDAR sensor on top of our rover. The video shows a virtual simulation of the lidar sytem we made to find the necessary parameters of a LIDAR unit.

The only affordable LIDAR module that matched our specs had a slight drawback. It could only measure distance to one point in a straight line. So we designed our own 360° spinning assembly and software to get data from around the rover. This early test video shows the lidar detecting surroundings, including a 5cm can from about 1.5m.
