03. RTAB-Map Package
RTAB-Map Pacakge
Although ROS provides you with huge amount of packages, integrating a ROS package requires your understanding of the package itself and how it connects to your project. The best place to start is on the RTAB-Map ROS Wiki page .
According to the documentation , the recommended robot configuration requires:
-
A 2D Laser, providing
sensor_msgs/LaserScan
messages -
Odometry sensors, providing
nav_msgs/Odometry
messages -
3D Camera, compatible with
openni_launch
,openni2_launch
orfreenect_launch
ROS packages
It seems that we lack the 3D camera sensor!
