Hi,

I recommend to start with the navigation tutorials to setup your robot for navigation. You could then check after the RTAB-Map's turtlebot tutorial or this robot configuration example.

Note that without a LIDAR, the robot may relocalize less often (finding less loop closures) to correct the map, especially when the robot navigates in a previously mapped area with the camera facing in other direction than the previous traversal. With a LIDAR, the robot can detect loop closures in reverse direction (assuming the LIDAR has >=180 degrees FOV) to correct the map.

cheers,
Mathieu
