RTAB-Map's ROS package providing real-time appearance-based SLAM (RGB-D, stereo, and LiDAR graph SLAM) as ROS 1 and ROS 2 nodes. It integrates with the ROS ecosystem for mapping, localization, odometry, and navigation (nav2) on robots.
Use cases
- build 3D maps of indoor environments with an RGB-D camera in ROS
- run visual SLAM and loop closure detection on a ROS robot
- generate occupancy grids for nav2 navigation from LiDAR or depth data
- estimate robot odometry from stereo or RGB-D cameras
- localize a robot on a previously saved map
- map and navigate with a TurtleBot3 or TurtleBot4
When to choose
- you need mature, actively maintained SLAM within the ROS/ROS2 ecosystem
- you use RGB-D, stereo, or 3D LiDAR sensors and want mapping plus localization out of the box
- you want nav2 integration and ready-made launch examples for common robots
When to avoid
- you need SLAM outside ROS (use the core rtabmap library instead)
- you need lightweight visual odometry only without mapping
- your platform is not Linux/ROS-based
