`Cartographer`_ is a system that provides real-time simultaneous localization
|
|
and mapping `SLAM`_ across multiple platforms and sensor configurations. This
|
|
project provides Cartographer's ROS integration.

Building & Installation
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Installation has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) with ROS Indigo, but may
|
|
also work on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) with ROS Kinetic. We recommend using
|
|
`wstool <http://wiki.ros.org/wstool>`_ and
|
|
`rosdep <http://wiki.ros.org/rosdep>`_. For faster builds, we also recommend
|
|
using `Ninja <https://ninja-build.org>`_.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# Install wstool and rosdep.
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y python-wstool python-rosdep ninja-build
|
|
|
|
# Create a new workspace in 'catkin_ws'.
|
|
mkdir catkin_ws
|
|
cd catkin_ws
|
|
wstool init
|
|
|
|
# Merge the cartographer_ros rosinstall file and fetch code for dependencies.
|
|
wstool merge https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googlecartographer/cartographer_ros/master/cartographer_ros.rosinstall
|
|
wstool update
|
|
|
|
# Install deb dependencies.
|
|
rosdep update
|
|
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro=${ROS_DISTRO} -y
|
|
|
|
# Build and install.
|
|
catkin_make_isolated --install --use-ninja
|
|
source install_isolated/setup.bash
|
|
|
|
Running the demo
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Now that Cartographer and Cartographer's ROS integration are installed,
|
|
download the example bag, a 2D backpack collection of the `Deutsches Museum
|
|
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Museum>`_, to a known location, in
|
|
this case ``~/Downloads``, and use ``roslaunch`` to bring up the demo:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
wget -P ~/Downloads https://storage.googleapis.com/cartographer-public-data/bags/backpack_2d/cartographer_paper_deutsches_museum.bag
|
|
roslaunch cartographer_ros demo_2d.launch bag_filename:=${HOME}/Downloads/cartographer_paper_deutsches_museum.bag
|
|
|
|
The launch file will bring up ``roscore`` and ``rviz`` automatically.
