3D Modeler (2006–2017)
The multisensory DLR 3D-Modeler is a device for fotorealistic 3-D modeling of a robot's environment in realtime.
In 2006, it was presented to the public for the first time.

System description
The DLR 3D-Modeler consists of a core module and application-specific extensions. The core module, hereafter called modeler, comprehends two digital cameras, a miniaturized rotating laser scanner and two laser line modules. Furthermore it features a small embedded computer to provide internal computing power and a graphical color display. The modeler can be attached to a handhold with various input buttons or to a robot via an industrial quick-changing adaptor. On the sides, markers can be attached for IR-based, optical pose tracking. Alternatively, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) can be attached.
