consolidate topological tools

[marc-hanheide]

In disucssion today it became clear we need to consolidate the tools to create topological maps.

@ibrahimhroob, I think you were involved in BACCHUS, where there was a little tool to "poop" topological nodes, i.e., navigate the robot, and push a button (on the remote control?) to record the topological map?

Also, we have the rviz tools in the topological_navigation repository, and we have @arsh09's current work in https://github.com/LCAS/topoeditor

I have mainly assigned this to @ibrahimhroob, to consolidate all the tools we have (and document them).

Hi @marc-hanheide Sergi was involved in that tool, I will ask him for a help

Here the script to the manual topomap tool that was "pooping" the nodes: https://github.com/LCAS/topological_navigation/blob/bacchus/topological_navigation/scripts/manual_topomapping.py

I have a few conversion scripts here https://github.com/LCAS/environment_common/tree/main/environment_common/convertors which are used to generate topological maps from other types such as navgraph, osm and kml. We are also developing more converters to be included there, I.e. openrmf

Is this completed?
