can nvblox ros use lidar as input? about isaac_ros_nvblox HOT 3 CLOSED

nvblox_ros accepts 3D LiDAR input. We are also agnostic as to where the pose estimate comes from, so an (accurate) 3D pose from LiDAR SLAM will work fine.

I am somewhat surprised you have bandwidth problems though. Are you using the realsense? What computer are you running on?

Hi @alexmillane,
thanks for the reply, and for the bandwidth, I'm using realsense d435i and now I'm transmitting these datas from one computer to another, so smaller bandwidth usage would be appreciated

another question is that can this nvblox map reuse as to the navigation application? since for the navigation loading a map which is already built is more convenient.

Thanks for your reply.

Ah I see. Your bandwidth limitations now make sense.

The nvblox_node exposes a load map service that can be used to load an existing map for navigation.
