How to use 2D LiDAR with a constant near object?
I am planning to use RPLidar 2 which is a relatively cheap 2D LiDAR for my robot. The problem I have is that the LiDAR will be located at the bottom of the robot and a constant thing behind it is a part of the robot. How can I SLAM with that object being always on sight?
Look at the video example here: http://wiki.ros.org/hector_slam
The guy holds LiDAR, how come his hand does not interfere with laser beams?
