III. Installation and quick usage.

To make it work, (1) open a terminal (for example, a linux terminal) and (2) start Matlab. Then follow these steps:

To use EKF-SLAM

A. In the [Linux / MacOSX] terminal:

A.1. Get the source code,

    git clone git://github.com/joansola/slamtb.git

A.2. Go to the toolbox

    cd slamtb

A.3. Select the EKF-SLAM project.

    git checkout ekf

B. In the Matlab command window:

B.1. Go to the toolbox

    >> cd slamtb

B.2. Add all subdirectories in slamtb/ to your Matlab path using the provided script:

    >> slamrc

B.3. Edit user data file, and enter the data of your experiment.

    >> edit userData.m.

B.4. Run the main script

    >> slamtb.

B.5. To develop methods, read first slamToolbox.pdf and guidelines.pdf.

To use graph-SLAM

A. In the [Linux / MacOSX] terminal:

A.1. Get the source code,

    git clone git://github.com/joansola/slamtb.git

A.2. Go to the toolbox

    cd slamtb

A.3. Select the graph-SLAM project.

    git checkout graph

B. In the Matlab prompt:

B.1. Go to the toolbox

    >> cd slamtb

B.2. Add all subdirectories in slamtb/ to your Matlab path using the provided script:

    >> slamrc

B.3. Edit user data file, and enter the data of your experiment.

    >> edit userDataGraph.m

B.4. Run the main script

    >> slamtb_graph

B.5. To develop methods, read first slamToolbox.pdf and guidelines.pdf. For graph-SLAM, read also courseSLAM.pdf.

Enjoy!
