V-SLAM

V-SLAM, or Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, is a technology used by devices like robots and drones to understand their surroundings. It combines visual information from cameras with algorithms to track the device's position in real time while creating a map of its environment. Essentially, as the device moves, it "sees" and remembers features of the area, helping it navigate accurately without needing GPS. V-SLAM is crucial for autonomous systems, enabling them to operate effectively in complex and dynamic spaces, such as homes or urban environments.
