Hi,

one question:
when we say SLAM, it means simultaneous localization and mapping, so why in RTABmap, and other slam techniques, first we do mapping and then localization??  how can we have a autonomous simultaneous localization and navigation (for instance with rtabamp?)?
I have a real robot, should i do first mapping and then localization? what is the scenario for the real robot?
Thanks
