Abstract

The task of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) is widely acknowledged as a fundamental requirement for a fully autonomous robot.

In this talk, I will describe the challenges involved in localization and mapping, and present recent successful approaches. Topics discussed include map models, Bayesian filtering techniques, and the trade-offs between various SLAM solutions.
