Graph-Based SLAM
Graph-Based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a technique used by robots and autonomous vehicles to map an environment while keeping track of their own location within it. It represents the environment as a graph, where nodes signify locations or landmarks, and edges represent the connections or relationships between them, based on sensor data. By optimizing this graph, the system improves its understanding of both the map and its position, allowing for better navigation and exploration, especially in complex or previously unknown spaces.

Graph-based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a technique used by robots and autonomous vehicles to navigate and map their surroundings. It constructs a "graph" where nodes represent locations and landmarks, while edges represent the robot's movements between them. As the robot gathers data from its sensors, it updates this graph to improve its understanding of both its position and the environment. This method effectively combines observations over time, allowing the system to correct errors and create accurate maps, essential for tasks like exploring unknown areas or driving autonomously.
