Hi,

I'm testing mostly on my macbook pro mid2010, so maybe any laptop since 6 years. A dedicated GPU is recommended for visualization. At least 6-8 GB of RAM and a SSD is a must too. If you can have 4 cores it can help to get all threads running fluidly at the same time with a decent frame rate. It can work on RaspberryPi, but the frame rate is low (so we cannot move fast).

On our robot, we have i7 2 cores without GPU (visualization is done on a remote computer so we don't need a GPU on the robot). Note that on this setup visual odometry is not used, wheel odometry (a lot less computationally expensive) with lidar ICP refining is used instead.

cheers
