Hello everybody, my project is an outdoor autonomous navigation mobile robot using ROS, the sensors used are Lidar, GPS, encoders and IMU


i prepared the drivers for the sensors and actuators and each part is worked well separately with ROS, but now i want to connect and gather all the project so i am trying to find a suitable ROS package (providing autonomous navigation & SLAM),


what are the main differences between the existed packages and what is the preferred package for outdoor navigation , "Any help and ideas are welcomed "

Specifically, what packages are you looking at? There are many packages in the ROS ecosystem.

You've mentioned what you want them to do (SLAM, navigation, etc), but not exactly what packages (names, links) you're referring to. How can someone tell you the difference between things if you haven't said what those things are?

If you have not yet integrated your other modules and performed navigation, I would start with gmapping to create the maps and the default navigation stack.
