2D Mapping using Google Cartographer and RPLidar with Raspberry Pi 3B+

In this experiment I'm going to launch opensource SLAM software - Google Cartographer - on Raspberry Pi b3+ with 360 degrees LDS RPLidar A1m8

All the SLAM process is launched on the Raspberry PI. Cartographer is configured to use only Lidar data for map building and position estimation. No IMU is used.
