Abstract:
A sensor apparatus may include an array of protruding members that each extend outward in a different radial direction from a central axis, each protruding member including a projector that projects structured light into a local environment, one or more cameras that capture reflections of the structured light from the local environment, and another camera that captures visible-spectrum light from the local environment. The sensor apparatus may also include one or more localization devices for determining a location of the sensor apparatus. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
