Remote user operation
Plan and execute missions from a remote location, whether in the office or in the field, which also keeps you safe from hazardous areas.
Robotic Reality Capture
BLK ARC
A versatile laser scanning module for robotic carriers — gather reliable data safely, wherever humans can't go.
Be Autonomous
The BLK ARC is a versatile laser scanning module that can work with multiple different types of robotic carriers, enabling you to gather data even in locations unfit for human occupation. From crime scenes to natural disasters, mine shafts to extreme landscapes, the BLK ARC is your partner in gathering reliable data safely and effectively.
Versatile, robust, and groundbreaking technology
The BLK ARC module adapts to any setting, and is compatible with many robotic carriers. Remote user operation, offline path planning, GrandSLAM technology, static and mobile scanning modes, and robust LiDAR module protection equip the BLK ARC to get you what you need, safely and securely, in any setting.
Unparalleled safety and security
The BLK ARC module adapts to any setting, and is compatible with many robotic carriers. Remote user operation, offline path planning, GrandSLAM technology, static and mobile scanning modes, and robust LiDAR module protection equip the BLK ARC to get you what you need, safely and securely, in any setting.
A host of features for every setting
The BLK ARC is a complete scanning solution that will get the autonomous revolution at work for you and your business.

Meet the tech
Technology
Offline path planning
Create new missions and adjust existing missions for any environment using Leica Cyclone 3DR.
GrandSLAM technology
GrandSLAM combines LiDAR SLAM, Visual SLAM, and an IMU to enable fully autonomous scanning and robotic navigation.
Static and mobile scanning modes
BLK ARC can scan in static and mobile mode during the same scan mission.
LiDAR module protection
Included U-bar protects the BLK ARC module when mounted to its robotic carrier.

Use Cases
Buildings & Infrastructure
Documenting site conditions on a daily, routine basis can be time-consuming and repetitive, but BLK ARC makes the job easy, fast, and fully autonomous.
Underground
To document structures and environments in hazardous or inconvenient environments, like underground mines, BLK ARC is the tool of choice as you can plan scans remotely and let it scan on its own.
Industrial & Plant
To perform reality capture of complex structures and environments, BLK ARC is ideal; with SPOT, it autonomously scans and navigates through plants and facilities.
Utilities
Capturing utility infrastructure, complexes, and facilities with BLK ARC provides an easy to use and fully autonomous robotic reality capture workflow with minimal hands-on work required.
