    摘要: Methods and apparatus for automated calibration for a LIDAR system of a mobile robot are provided. The method comprises capturing a plurality of LIDAR measurements. The plurality of LIDAR measurements include a first set of LIDAR measurements as the mobile robot spins in a first direction at a first location, the first location being a first distance to a calibration target, and a second set of LIDAR measurements as the mobile robot spins in a second direction at a second location, the second location being a second distance to the calibration target, wherein the first direction and the second direction are different and the second distance is different than the first distance. The method further comprises processing the plurality of LIDAR measurements to determine calibration data, and generating alignment instructions for the LIDAR system based, at least in part, on the calibration data.
