Running Hector SLAM on Euclid

TOver1 — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 20:00:34 GMT

I'm trying to run hector slam on the Euclid with a UTM-30LX lidar. I found that it works well if the lidar data is recorded and played back at 25% speed. However, real time use quickly gives bad results.

I was wondering if anyone else is trying to do something similar or had suggestions on getting better results.

Thanks

Hi Mit,

Thanks for reaching out.

I have not used Hector SLAM and the UTM-30LX lidar, however, I would like to investigate a little bit more in order to try to help with that and as soon as I have useful information I'll let you know.

Hi Mit,

Unfortunately, we do not have experience with that particular Lidar so we do not have good advice to give at this point. If someone in the community has experience with the UTM-30LX lidar maybe they can post advice here.

It turns out that it was a catkin build issue as described here: https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_slam/issues/11 Default catkin build ~20x slower than building Release mode · Issue # 11 · tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_slam · GitHub

After compiling in release mode everything is working properly.
