Description
The Leica BLK ARC is an autonomous laser scanning module designed to be integrated with robotic platforms, enabling fully autonomous mobile reality capture in environments that are hazardous, repetitive, or difficult for personnel to access. By combining advanced LiDAR technology with Leica Geosystems’ GrandSLAM positioning and navigation capabilities, the BLK ARC allows robots to independently navigate, scan, and generate accurate 3D point clouds with minimal human intervention.
Designed for integration with robotic carriers such as mobile ground robots, the BLK ARC can perform both mobile and stationary scans during a single mission, creating comprehensive digital representations of buildings, industrial facilities, construction sites, infrastructure, tunnels, mines, and other complex environments. Users can plan scan missions remotely and deploy the system to repeatedly capture site conditions, monitor progress, and document changing environments safely and efficiently.
The BLK ARC is particularly valuable for applications requiring frequent data collection or operation in areas where human access is limited or unsafe. Its autonomous workflow improves efficiency, enhances worker safety, and provides consistent, high-quality reality capture data for digital twins, inspections, facility management, asset monitoring, and construction documentation.
