rtabmap
is a tool. It's not used for "standard" navigation. It's purpose is to build a map using sensors on the robot. Localization is often done by odometry from wheel encoders, or sometimes by gps when outdoors. It's an on-going research problem on how to correct the localization drift once enough data is gathered.
