Generating odometry data with kinect
I try to build a slam robot with kinect. I cant get any reliable data from my encoders so i want to generate odometry data via kinect. When i look for it topics are outdated so is there anyway to generate odometry data for slam via kinect?
It’s possible, it’s called visual odometry or visual slam. There is a video that shows how to: https://youtu.be/c5punaP01kU
It’s not the most reliable either and it will depend on the hardware you are using. The video uses a RPI 4 so it’s in the low end of the spectrum.
im using my computer. moving robot via twist messages with arduino uno , kinect directly connected my computer
Should be ok then.
