+This repository provides **a sample setup** for using LIO-SAM to do 3D mapping with the mobile robot development kit from Weston Robot. It mainly serves as a reference to help you get started with your application development as quickly as possible. If you have questions regarding the LIO-SAM algorithm itself, please refer to the original [GitHub repository by the author](https://github.com/TixiaoShan/LIO-SAM) and [relevant research papers](https://github.com/TixiaoShan/LIO-SAM).

+## Start a mapping session
+
+On the robot, launch the mapping nodes:
+
+```bash
+$ cd <your-workspace>/wr_devkit_mapping
+$ source /opt/ros/humble.bash
+$ source install/setup.bash
+$ ros2 launch sample_launch livox_mapping.launch.py
+```
+
+If you want to check the mapping result, you can run rviz on your computer (make sure your computer is connected to the robot network first)
+
+```bash
+$ ros2 run rviz2 rviz2
+```
+
+You can clone this repository to your computer and load the rviz configuration located at "src/sample_launch/config/rviz2.rviz".
