   @parataxis Does it handle things like loop closure and kidnapped robot ?

     This looks awesome. I spent a lot of years on the stereo vision and SLAM problems, and this product is exactly what I was discussing about building with people at CMU over a decade ago.

     At the time the CPU power was still not quite there, camera sync was still tricky and the SLAM algorithms were still somewhat experimental.

     @parataxis I guess so:
     
     

     "It is able to close large loops and perform global relocalisation in real-time"
     
     

     Practical robotic vision was always a necessary precursor to the next stage, which is point cloid perception, modeling and simulation of the environment. I know that ROS goes some of the way with that, although I havn't been keeping up with it in the last few years.
