Why Do We Need Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)?
Why Do We Need Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)? We have made great strides when it comes to robotics. But where we've come at a standstill is the lack of support to the robots when it comes to finding the location WHAT IS SLAM? However, Computer Vision has found a solution for this as well. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping are here for robots guiding them every step of the way, just like a GPS While GPS does serve as a good mapping system, certain constraints limit its reach. For example, indoors constrain their reach and outdoors have various barriers, which, if the robot hits, can endanger their safety And thus, our safety jacket is Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, better known as SLAM that helps it find locations and map their journeys HOW DOES SLAM WORK? As robots can have large memory banks, they keep on mapping their location with the help of SLAM technology. So, recording its journeys it charts maps. This is very helpful when the robot has to chart ...
