10. Going Above and Beyond - Localization
Localization
If you desire to perform localization, there are only a few changes you need to make. You can start by duplicating your mapping.launch
file and calling it localization.launch
.
The following changes also need to be made to the localization.launch
file:
Remove the
args="--delete_db_on_start"
from your node launcher since you will need your database to localize too.Remove the Mem/NotLinkedNodesKept parameter
Lastly, add the Mem/IncrementalMemory parameter of type string and set it to false to finalize the changes needed to put the robot into localization mode.
This is another method for localization you can keep in mind when working on your next robotics project!
