How do robots understand and map unknown environments in real-time?
This project demonstrates a complete SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) pipeline using ROS 2, where a mobile robot navigates and builds a map of its surroundings using LiDAR and odometry.
The simulation shows how sensor data and motion estimation work together to create an accurate map while the robot moves inside a virtual environment.
Built using ROS 2 Humble and Ignition Gazebo, this project combines robot modeling, sensor integration, and real-time mapping to demonstrate how autonomous systems perceive the world.
⚙️ Project Highlights:
✅ Differential drive robot with realistic 4-wheel base
✅ GPU LiDAR sensor for environment scanning
✅ Real-time SLAM using SLAM Toolbox
✅ Complete TF, odometry, and sensor pipeline
✅ Ignition Gazebo simulation environment
✅ RViz visualization for mapping and data analysis
✅ Keyboard teleoperation control (cmd_vel)
From raw sensor data to a fully built map, this simulation shows how modern robots localize and navigate in unknown environments.
📊 Perfect for:
• Robotics & Mechatronics students
• ROS 2 learners
• Autonomous systems developers
• AI & Robotics researchers
• Engineering final year projects
💡 A robot that starts with no knowledge of its surroundings… can build a complete map using SLAM.
