How any Robot can Navigate with this Module

This is part 2 of experimenting with an Intel Realsense T265 Tracking Camera to replace the TF and Odom topics produced by wheel odometry, so use Gmapping and the Navigation stack in ROS. it seems to work pretty well so this has a lot of potential to just drop into any robot and make it navigate autonomously. I'm running the wheels totally open loop having removed the wheel encoders from the robot, so all positioning is carried out by the tracking camera.

XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
