guide for effectively and efficiently embedding lidar and radar
sensors in robotic applications within the stipulated specifications
and design objectives.
In the future, lidar and radar sensor technologies will evolve
in various manners to adapt to each specific application. Further
consideration may be required to select the appropriate lidar and
radar sensors for specific robotic applications. We expect that the
presented experimental results and comparative metrics will serve
as a suitable reference in the process of determining the optimum
combinations of extant commercial lidar and radar sensor technologies
while adhering to the stipulated design constraints.
