RKO-LIO: Open-Sourcing Robust LiDAR-Inertial Odometry Without Sensor-Specific Modelling
tom_doerr · x · 2026-07-31
The PRBonn team open-sourced RKO-LIO, a robust LiDAR-Inertial Odometry (LIO) system. Its core advantage is the ability to provide stable state estimation and mapping across diverse robots and environments without requiring sensor-specific modelling.
The project has gained 600+ stars on GitHub, supports quick installation via pip, and offers ROS 1/2 integration for direct deployment by roboticists.
