Robotec GPU Lidar (RGL) Gem

The Robotec GPU Lidar (RGL) Gem is a module working with ROS 2 Gem and extending it with a GPU-accelerated implementation of Lidar Sensor Component. It uses an open source Robotec GPU Lidar library simulating LiDAR through raycasting based on GPU with CUDA and OptiX .

The Gem provides a faithful representation of the simulated environment by supporting the following visuals:

You can fully customize the LiDAR’s settings using the O3DE Level Editor. Those include properties like:

  • configurable raycasting pattern
  • lidar range
  • entities excluded from raycasting

You can also choose one of the presets provided by the ROS 2 Gem to create a LiDAR model that fits your needs.

The Gem is available from our website at Github repository . For more information, refer to the README file of the Gem and/or the README file of the library.
