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

by Sebastian Thrun and Michael Montemerlo

Book Overview

This monograph, from the winners of the DARPA Grand Challenge, describes a new family of algorithms for the simultaneous localization and mapping problem in robotics (SLAM). It is the first book on the market about FastSLAM which is the most influential of recent contributions to the SLAM problem for mobile robots. SLAM addresses the problem of acquiring an environment map with a roving robot, while simultaneously localizing the robot relative...
