brief: hector_mapping is a SLAM approach that can be used without odometry as well
  as on platforms that exhibit roll/pitch motion (of the sensor, the platform or both).

description: "\nhector_mapping is a SLAM approach that can be used without odometry\
  \ as well as on platforms that exhibit roll/pitch motion (of the sensor, the platform\
  \ or both). It leverages the high update rate of modern LIDAR systems like the Hokuyo\
  \ UTM-30LX and provides 2D pose estimates at scan rate of the sensors (40Hz for\
  \ the UTM-30LX). While the system does not provide explicit loop closing ability,\
  \ it is sufficiently accurate for many real world scenarios. The system has successfully\
  \ been used on Unmanned Ground Robots, Unmanned Surface Vehicles, Handheld Mapping\
  \ Devices and logged data from quadrotor UAVs.\n\n  "
