SLAM

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) examples Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is an ability to estimate the pose of a robot and the map of the environment at the same time. The SLAM problem is hard to solve, because a map is needed for localization and localization is needed for mapping. In this way, SLAM is often said to be similar to a ‘chicken-and-egg’ problem. Popular SLAM solution methods include the extended Kalman filter, particle filter, and Fast SLAM algorithm[31]. Fig.4 shows SLAM simulation results using extended Kalman filter and results using FastSLAM2.0[31].
