What it does
- Provides SLAM tools including Monte Carlo localization, RBPF and pose-graph optimization.
- Offers geometry utilities such as SE(2)/SE(3) Lie groups, rigid transforms and point clouds.
- Includes Kalman and particle filters and PDFs over poses and maps.
- Supports occupancy grids, point maps, landmark maps and voxel maps.
- Interfaces with LiDAR, stereo and RGB-D cameras, IMU, GPS and Velodyne sensors.
- Includes 3-D visualization, GUI windows, reactive navigation, path planning and obstacle avoidance; version 3.0 moves to colcon-based modular packages and C++17.
