Omni-Microphone is an advanced all-directions microphone for robots and forklifts when the highest performance and the largest submaps are required.
Features:
- Omni-Microphone is an external microphone that can be used along with Super-Beacons and Mini-RXs. It is possible to connect to the Super-Beacon just by putting the 4×4 board on the Omni on top of the 4×4 pins in the Super-Beacon. For Mini-RX, basic soldering is required. See more in the Operating Manual
- On request, it can also be used along with Industrial-RX and Industrial Super-Beacons
- It has a super-wide 360×360-degree beam, i.e., an omni-directional ultrasound reception pattern
- It is possible to enable and receive a signal from any of the microphones separately, thus, disabling a noise source from an unwanted direction, because the Omni-Microphone consists of 4 external microphones back to back
- The Omni-Microphone is great for Direction + Location, for example, for robot’s: https://youtu.be/xZ-jnoRNDE0
- It is highly recommended for larger submaps (25m+) in IA or when a particularly guaranteed and robust tracking of a forklift or similar mobile object on the largest possible distance. See the video below for more info about microphone diagrams
- The microphone is IP67 protected by special membranes and compound
- Only one Omni-Microphone can be connected to a Super-Beacon or a Mini-RX because, effectively, there are four microphones inside already
- The default cable length is ~1m
