Wolfgang Hess 17a22edebc Change local 3D SLAM to not use a UKF. (#375)
This follows the 2D local SLAM in implementing a simple
constant velocity model and allows integrating odometry and
rotation information from an IMU.

Purpose
=======

`Cartographer`_ is a system that provides real-time simultaneous localization
and mapping (`SLAM`_) in 2D and 3D across multiple platforms and sensor
configurations.
