Camera for mapping

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi! I am learning multi-sensor fusion related knowledge and just found this amazing project. Can I ask is the camera involved in the mapping, or obstacle avoidance?

Thank you for the kind words!

As for the camera, it's mainly there for the user to see where the robot is, basically a first person view.

Mapping and obstacle avoidance are achieved using the RPlidar sensor. Then sensor fusion is carried out on wheel odometry and IMU data to provide more accurate robot odometry estimates.

I hope this helps to clarify things.

Got it! Thanks for the reply:)
