Abstract

We present a practical low-cost navigation system for RGBD based mobile robotics. Our system consists of two RGBD cameras connected to a mobile robot equipped with an NVidia Jetson TK1 board. To demonstrate the system, we emulate a laser scanner sensor using RGBD data and GPU based software. We then use a map building task to compare the emulation with a real laser scanner system. The source code, for our research, is open sourced.
