What is SLAM? SLAM stands for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. The goal of SLAM is to build a map while you are moving in it. To accomplish this, the robot must continuously create an internal representation or model of what it observes with its sensors (e.g., lasers, cameras), estimate how far away objects are, find unique features to identify them in different observations and use all of the data combined to keep track of where it is in space something like a GPS system for robots. The point of using SLAM algorithms is that they can be used on mobile robots...
