Revision history [back]

There are two likely causes for this:

  1. The system uses a fixed size map behind the scenes, which should be of sufficient size for most scenarios. If your robot travels far, it could go beyond map borders.
  2. You reach an area that leads to a scan matching failure due to not enough features in the environment, or the robot moves too fast.

There really should be no reason that leads to failures solely based on the time the system has been running.
