Hello Sir,

we are planning on building a robot capable of autonomous navigation and generation of a 3D map of a shop environment for our final year project. we are planning on using a LIDAR sensor and implement 2D SLAM. then for 3D mapping we have decided to use RTAB-map. is it possible to use RTAB-map only for mapping the environment without going into 3D SLAM?. if it is possible what about loop closures?

currently we're having these problems.

thanks
