ROSCon2022: Building and Using Multi-Session, Multi-Robot Maps in ROS2 using the NavAbility package
Building and Using Multi-Session, Multi-Robot Maps in ROS2 with the NavAbility package
A key part of distributed robotics is building, sharing, and updating large consolidated maps. During this talk we will introduce a new ROS package that allows these maps to be:
-
- Built by multiple heterogeneous vehicles
- Solved and consolidated in the cloud using a decentralized SLAM solver
- Communicated back to the robots for continuous information sharing,
- Persisted and indexed for efficient querying and visualization.
Examples and demonstration applications will be provided using a free services and open-source code so attendees can work through the code during or after the talk.
The examples are packaged for a zero-install, “bring-your-own-laptop” setup so that you can easily experiment and the results are published if you would prefer to simply peruse through the examples.
Note: The tutorials will be provided both in-person as well as remotely to allow for both physical and remote participation.
Who Should Attend
Researchers
Industry Roboticists
New Robotics Engineers
Schedule
The tutorials are designed to be:
-
- Zero-footprint setups that should take about 15 minutes to take you from problem definition to results and analysis
- Run in a browser in a JupyterHub Notebook independently or pull the code to your local machine to review later
- Always available – all examples will always be available and can be run at any time
