Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit


The Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit is a cross-platform and open source C++ library aimed to help robotics researchers to design and implement algorithms related to Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, computer vision and motion planning. Different research groups have employed MRPT to implement projects reported in some of the major robotics journals and conferences.
MRPT is open source and distributed under the New BSD License. Versions prior to 1.0.0 were released under the GPL.
Some features included in the project as user-applications:
Upon a selection of the individual libraries provided by MRPT, users can develop new applications.
MRPT participated in Google Summer of Code in 2016-2018.

Representation of metric maps

Through polymorphism in the design of metric-map classes, observations can be inserted into a grid-map or a map of points, or both simultaneously, transparently to the user.
The following representations of metric maps are implemented:
