Mapping is the process of generating a representation of the environment which a mobile robot can use for autonomous navigation. It typically requires a robot to explore the physical space while running a SLAM algorithm in the background. However there are some inconveniences from this approach. It may be time consuming for very large environments. A bigger challenge is keeping the representation up-to-date with any changes in the physical layout of the space. This talk explores the idea of generating SLAM maps from digital twins of physical environments created using open-source tools such as rmf_traffic_editor, gazebo and navigation2.
