slam_toolbox
A ROS-based 2D SLAM library for lifelong mapping, localization, and multi-robot SLAM with pose-graph optimization.
What is slam_toolbox?
Slam Toolbox is a ROS/ROS2-based 2D SLAM library that enables robots to build, update, and localize within maps over extended periods. It solves the problem of lifelong operation in dynamic environments by providing tools for continuous mapping, pose-graph optimization, and multi-robot collaboration, going beyond traditional point-and-shoot SLAM.
Robotics engineers and researchers developing autonomous mobile robots for warehouses, retail, libraries, or research labs who need reliable, long-term SLAM and localization capabilities.
Developers choose Slam Toolbox for its production-ready performance, support for lifelong mapping and localization, multi-robot capabilities, and extensive tooling—offering a more mature and flexible alternative to other open-source SLAM libraries.
