SLAM for dummies tutorial

[Admin]

SLAM, or simulataneous localization and mapping, is something any robot programmer will need to know if they want their robot to map unknown unstructured terrain.

This is a basic run down tutorial:

Its a bit hard to understand at first, but dont feel too bad, its still state of the art technology.

Nice one. I'm doing a system of systems demonstrator using vision as a high level supervisor next year. This may well come in handy.

There is a reason SLAM work is referred to as "the SLAM problem"; we still have not solved it in it's entirety.
