@Bitbeard The LC (LightCone) will be available for pre-sale on the ROVR official website starting June 16th, with an estimated delivery in September.
@Xrave That's a great question. Deploying the first batch of LC devices really highlighted situations we hadn't anticipated. For instance, some users placed the LC inside their vehicle, behind the windshield, and our data quality detection module hadn't accounted for this scenario before.
The LiDAR system itself still has some issues, particularly with low-temperature heating. The LiDAR we currently use automatically turns on self-heating below 0 degrees Celsius, drawing up to 45 watts. This brings the total LC power consumption to 62 watts. We're actively discussing this with the LiDAR vendor to see if there's a solution.
@bob_carsyn Road conditions can change, there might be road construction, accidents, or traffic jams.
Currently, traveling the same route with a one-week interval is still meaningful for the project, and rewards will be calculated separately for each instance.
@bob_carsyn more than 700km/week
@GeoCKC 20~50 pixels
@djsupafly It depends on the level of shaking. During video preprocessing, we apply software-based stabilization across consecutive frames
@DePIN_Pete Not at the moment. This is because we need to transmit some data in real time for analysis and preprocessing, which requires a cellular network.
It’s technically feasible to create an LTE version of the device, but it would require users to pay an additional monthly data plan, which we believe is not ideal for scaling.
@william On the device, we run ROS2. Sensor data (from the camera, LiDAR, IMU, GPS, etc.) is organized into ROS2Bag format and stored on an external hard drive.
@joinsamp yes we have coverage for Canada, the US and Europe
