HectorGrapher

Purpose

HectorGrapher is a robust, continuous-time SLAM framework for mobile rescue robots, forked from Cartographer. The framework is developed for the needs of robust and efficient 3D SLAM for the mobile ground robots used for urban search and rescue research at Team Hector and the German Center for Rescue Robotics (DRZ).
