Cool, and thank you for the response. Yes - I am working with a group that hopes to integrate this with a larger system; I did manage to get both the standalone as well as the ROS version of rtabmap working on my machine.

The first thing that we are concerned with is to automatically update a map as the robot is running. The wiki suggests using the map_assembler node (I think) to do this. I currently am using a kinect with the libfreenect stack - what nodes should I launch to get the map_assembler node to run properly (and generate a map)?

EDIT: added more detail
