A list of projects that were or will be featured in Weekly Robotics newsletter
A ROS package provides a node for merging multiple maps by knowing the initial relative positions of robots
Point cloud registration pipeline for robot localization and 3D perception
A new voxel layer leveraging modern 3D graphics tools to modernize navigation environmental representations
Estimation of 2D odometry based on planar laser scans. Useful for mobile robots with innacurate base odometry. For full description of the algorithm, please refer to: Planar Odometry from a Radial Laser Scanner. A Range Flow-based Approach.

A ROS node to perform a probabilistic 3-D/6-DOF localization system for mobile robots with 3-D LIDAR(s). It implements pointcloud based Monte Carlo localization that uses a reference pointcloud as a map.
A fast particle filter implementation and sensor models for localization which always take into account the most recent state of the world.
This package bridges the internal communication of a Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner into ROS messages, provides an URDF model and contains configuration files for the navigation stack.
A ROS package that implements a multi-robot RRT-based map exploration algorithm. It also has the image-based frontier detection that uses image processing to extract frontier points.
