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 or freenect_launch ROS packages

It seems that we lack the 3D camera sensor!
