Hi,

not sure what is your end goal, but for only mapping+object detection, you don't need navigation. It could be possible to use the kinectv2 for hand-held mapping with object detection started in parallel.

For doing it under navigation in simulation, the problem is that rtabmap's loop closure detection and find-object's object detection are visual based. Unless your simulated environment is visually-rich (not just texture-less objects/walls), object detection and mapping won't work very great and your parameters won't be transferable in the real world.

cheers,
Mathieu
