Robotic Mapping

Robotic mapping is the process by which robots create a digital model of their surroundings. Using sensors like cameras, lasers, or ultrasonic devices, robots collect data about the environment, then analyze this information to generate maps that detail obstacles, walls, and open spaces. This helps robots navigate safely and efficiently, whether in a warehouse, home, or outdoor setting. Mapping is essential for autonomous operation, enabling robots to understand where they are, plan routes, and improve their performance over time through continuous updates.
