Abstract
A movable system includes a movable platform that includes a motorized drive to cause the movable platform to move in position, and a compartment located in an interior part of the movable platform; and an LIDAR system mounted to the movable platform including a probe fiber laser module located on the movable platform and producing pulsed probe laser light and scan the pulsed probe laser light out for optically sensing presence of one or more objects in the surrounding area based on detection of reflected probe laser light from the one or more objects. The probe fiber laser module includes a base laser module located inside the enclosure of the compartment and remote laser modules distributed at the platform instrument holding portions to scan the pulsed probe laser light out for optically sensing presence of one or more objects in the surrounding area.
