What problem does it solve?

Lifelong mapping addresses unbounded map growth in long-duration robots by allowing the map to evolve, trim stale data, and persist improvements across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Graph trimming removes old, low-information nodes to keep the pose-graph size manageable.
  • Map evolution updates the current map when revisiting areas, reflecting changes like moved furniture or opened doors.
  • Serialize/deserialize workflows enable pausing and resuming mapping, and saving the latest map to disk.
  • Flexible configuration for frames, resolution, thresholds, and solver settings to suit different environments.
  • Workflow example: initialize mapping in online mode, serialize, switch to Lifelong mode, periodically serialize to preserve the latest map.

Quick Start

Launch slam_toolbox LifelongSlamToolbox with an existing serialized map file and configure map_file_name.
