Talk:Simultaneous localization and mapping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I tried to insert a link to Andrew Blake, pioneer of probabilistic methods for vision and tracking, but discovered there already is another Andrew Blake in the entertainment industry. Someone should resolve this ambiguity... Probots
I like the intent of this sentence:
SLAM has not yet been fully perfected, but it is starting to be employed in unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles, planetary rovers and newly emerging domestic robots.
but have doubts as to what arial and underwater vehicles use SLAM for. I thought this technique was only for mapping indoor environments. -- BAxelrod 13:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- SLAM is a general tehnique/framework for creating maps dynamically while navigating in unknown territories. It is not domain-limited, and is therefore ideally suited for applications like autonomous arial and underwater navigation in unknown territories. Computational complexity may, however, pose a problem in such embedded devices. --Fredrik Orderud 23:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
