  • Where to hire Jetson developers?

    I've ported https://github.com/ethz-asl/maplab/releases/tag/1.3 to the TK-1 and have some OpenCV experience with the Jetson family but no specific camera driver experience. Are you looking for a long term hire or just this effort?

    I haven't had a chance to look at the data in detail, but I assume you're talking about the flip-flopping of some clouds from one of the ANYmals? We use a centralized mapping framework called MapLab which tries to optimally align the maps of all robots and generate a single consistent map. Map optimization is totally out of my domain, but I suspect a few bad constraints caused the optimization to oscillate between two local minima. It gave the operator a heart attack at the time, but its a fairly common occurrence before the process is complete, and fortunately it all got worked out.

    OpenOrienteering Mapper[0,1] is an orienteering mapmaking program which provides a free alternative to the existing proprietary solution (aka OCAD, which was de-facto standard mapping software for IOF Orienteering Sport since 1990s[3]). Its main advantages compared to it are:

    - Open Source: The program is completely free, every programmer can improve it.

    - Cross-platform: The program works on Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.

    OpenOrienteering project celebrated its 10th Anniversary since initiated by Thomas 'puzzlepaint on September 25, 2011.

    On January 1, 2012 OpenOrienteering Mapper app development was announced.

    Actually OpenOrienteering Mapper (Mapper for short) is on the way to 1.0 release.[2]
