【产品评测】用RPLIDAR A2搭建hector_mapping

1. 安装RPLIDAR包
建立catkin工作空间，在其src目录下git包：
git clone https://github.com/robopeak/rplidar_ros
返回工作空间 catkin_make编译

2. 下载安装hector_mapping

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-hector-slam

3. 在rplidar_ros/launch/目录下添加  hector_mapping_demo.launch文件

文件如下：
<launch>


  <node pkg="hector_mapping" type="hector_mapping" name="hector_mapping" output="screen">
    <!-- Frame names -->
    <param name="pub_map_odom_transform" value="true"/>
    <param name="map_frame" value="map" />

    <!-- Advertising config -->
    <param name="advertise_map_service" value="true"/>
    <param name="scan_subscriber_queue_size" value="5"/>
    <param name="scan_topic" value="scan"/>
  </node>


  <node pkg="rplidar_ros" type="rplidarNode" name="rplidarNode" output="screen">
    <param name="serial_port"         type="string" value="/dev/ttyUSB0"/>
    <param name="serial_baudrate"     type="int"    value="115200"/>
    <param name="frame_id"            type="string" value="laser"/>
    <param name="inverted"            type="bool"   value="false"/>
    <param name="angle_compensate"    type="bool"   value="true"/>
  </node>


  <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="base_to_laser_broadcaster" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 /base_link /laser 100"/>
  <node pkg="rviz" type="rviz" name="rviz" args="-d $(find hector_slam_launch)/rviz_cfg/mapping_demo.rviz"/>


</launch>


运行这个launch文件，可以使用hector_mapping建地图。
如下图所示
 


要注意hector_mapping是不带里程计的，手拿着都可以建地图。
