FastSLAM A Scalable Method for the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Problem in Robotics

This monograph describes a new family of algorithms for the simultaneous localization and mapping problem in robotics (SLAM). SLAM addresses the problem of acquiring an environment map with a roving robot, while simultaneously localizing the robot relative to this map. This problem has received enor...
