Software
OctoMap
| Developer | Kai M. Wurm, Armin Hornung, University of Freiburg |
| Description | An Efficient Probabilistic 3D Mapping Framework Based on Octrees. The OctoMap library implements a 3D occupancy grid mapping approach. It provides data structures and mapping algorithms. The map is implemented using an Octree. Contains the main OctoMap library, the viewer octovis, and dynamicEDT3D. |

Radiation Avoidance
| Developer | Andy West (University of Manchester) |
| Description | Method of reducing radiation exposure to mobile robots by adding radiation information to navigation, using ROS costmaps. Can be used for alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron ionising radiation sources. These layers in the costmap can be used multiple times for each sensor or radiation type. |
