Topological SLAM

Topological SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a technology used in robotics and computer vision that helps a robot navigate and understand its environment. Instead of creating a detailed map, it focuses on recognizing important locations and the connections between them, similar to a subway map rather than a street map. This allows the robot to keep track of where it has been and where it needs to go, even in complex or unfamiliar spaces, making it efficient in navigating large areas while minimizing the amount of data it needs to process.
