SLAM Techniques

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a technology that allows a robot or device to build a map of an unknown environment while keeping track of its own location within that space. It combines sensors like cameras and lidar to detect surroundings and algorithms to interpret this data, continuously updating the map and its position. This process is essential for autonomous navigation in unfamiliar areas, enabling robots or vehicles to explore, avoid obstacles, and reach destinations without prior knowledge of the environment.
