MRPT is a mature C++ toolkit of libraries and applications for mobile robotics, covering SLAM, localization, probabilistic filtering, sensor handling, maps, and 3D visualization, with Python bindings via pybind11. Developed since 2005 at the University of Málaga, it is actively maintained under the BSD-3-Clause license.

Use cases

• implement SLAM or Monte Carlo localization for a mobile robot
• process LiDAR and RGB-D sensor data in C++
• run particle filters and Kalman filters for robot state estimation
• optimize pose graphs for mapping
• plan paths and do reactive obstacle avoidance
• visualize 3D robot scenes and point cloud maps
• use robotics algorithms from Python

When to choose

• building mobile robot software needing SLAM, localization, or navigation in C++
• you need well-tested probabilistic filtering and SE(2)/SE(3) geometry libraries
• you want cross-platform robotics libraries with Python bindings and long-term maintenance

When to avoid

• you need a full turnkey robot operating system rather than a C++ library collection
• your project is not robotics-related
• you need a language other than C++ or Python
