Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) uses observations to construct a graph, which often contains both environments (mapping), and robot trajectories (localization). RoCAL focuses on building ...

The new approach, based on a technique called Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), will allow robots to constantly update a map as they learn new information over time, he says.

These iRobot Roomba robots use a technology called vSLAM, or visual simultaneous localization and mapping. In a nutshell, as the bot moves around, it looks for unique areas that it considers ...

Innovations like AI-driven mapping algorithms, sensor fusion, and visual-inertial odometry are improving the accuracy and operational efficiency of SLAM systems, making them more viable in dynamic ...

The robot subsystem drives the robot along a specified route by accepting velocity and heading commands from a software controller on a laptop, which steers the robot. The robot has an odometry ...

A graph-based system called SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) allowed each robot to build a local area map using its sensory data, while also keeping track of its own location within ...

One of the most powerful tools in the robot software arsenal just made it's way into a video game. SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) lets a computer explore an area, know where it is, and ...
