A tool of building up the map

Lidar configuration

Refer to the wiki page.

Package dependencies

Install following ROS packages in your catkin workspace:

How to use me

roslaunch map_server gmapping.launch

Push CaBot slowly down desired mapping route (should see map start to form in rviz)

After you've reached the end of the mapped route, run:

rosrun map_server map_saver -f desired_map_name

This command will save a .pgm and .yaml file of your map that can be used on the navigation stack.

hector_slam

You can also use hector_slam instead of gmapping. To do so, run

roslaunch lidar_map urg_lidar.launch
roslaunch lidar_map build_map.launch

Note

This package's mapping part is directly copied from demo, thus containing many confusing and inaccurate parts in the configurations and launch files.
