AbstractAutonomous mobile robot navigation is one of the important and exciting topic in present days. Cameras can play an essential role in object detection and object avoidance. By using latest advancements in computer vision and visual slam autonomous navigation becoming more and more accurate. Some of the autonomous robot navigation applications are vacuum cleaners, home delivery robots, self driving cars, surveillance robots. This slam technique used in this research study is rtabmap ros, it provides wide range of mapping methods like 2D, 3D, octomaps, occupancy grid maps. In this study I tested robot car in both indoor and outdoor conditions and compared the results. This generated maps can be used for robot navigation and localization.
