maplab 2.0 is an open, research-oriented C++ mapping framework for multi-session and multi-robot SLAM, built on ROS. It provides robust visual-inertial odometry, large-scale map optimization, and dense reconstruction, extensively tested on real robots.

Use cases

  • build a visual-inertial SLAM system for a robot
  • merge and optimize maps from multiple sessions
  • run multi-robot collaborative mapping
  • generate dense 3D reconstructions from camera data
  • localize a robot against a prebuilt visual map
  • research platform for SLAM algorithm development

When to choose

  • you need multi-session or multi-robot mapping with map optimization
  • you want a proven visual-inertial odometry and localization stack on Ubuntu/ROS
  • you are doing SLAM research and want an extensible C++ framework

When to avoid

  • you need a lightweight out-of-the-box SLAM for non-Linux platforms
  • your project is not ROS-based
  • you need active feature development rather than a maintained research codebase
