Hello,

I'm new in ROS2 Foxy and have build a lawn mower robot which uses a Perimeter wire as boundary fence.

The robot is equipped with Perimeter Sensors to detect if it is inside or not. It is able to follow/track the perimeter wire. Also it is equipped with odometry, IMU+compass, bump Sensor, cheap GPS and sonar.

Now I'm looking for a solution to build a map during robot tracks Perimeter. I found lots of Tutorials using lidar, but I don't have. Also GPS is inaccurate as it jumps up to 5 meters while not moving.

My planned solution is to record position while tracking by odom and imu and build the map. But I don't have any glue how to start even not which package might be a string point.

I know that compass imu and odom will drift and that Offset will increase by time but this is tolerable for me

Any hints are welcome.

Patrick

In terms of fusing GPS, IMU, and Odom, you should look into robot_localization
