Overview

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) enables autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and smart devices like virtual reality headsets, to navigate unknown environments. SLAM achieves this by building a virtual map of the physical world and localizing the platform within that map at the same time. It utilizes onboard sensors, including cameras, LiDARs, and IMUs, to estimate the platform's pose (position and orientation) and trajectory.

Join our webinar for an in-depth exploration of SLAM techniques, where we will delve into its core principles including front-end and back-end algorithms, applications in automotive and robotics, and the typical challenges faced during implementation. Participants will discover a range of SLAM algorithms available in MATLAB® and Simulink®, with demonstrations of advanced techniques for sensor fusion, pose and factor graph optimization, and deployment with ROS.

Highlights

Key Topics Covered:

  • Monocular Visual SLAM: Learn how to implement high-performance, deployable monocular visual SLAM in MATLAB using real-world data.
  • 3D LiDAR SLAM: Explore 3D LiDAR SLAM techniques with pose graph optimization.
  • Multi-Sensor SLAM Workflows: Dive into workflows using factor graphs, with a focus on monocular visual-inertial systems (VINS-Mono).
  • SLAM Deployment: Understand how to deploy SLAM algorithms with seamless MATLAB and ROS integration.

This webinar is designed for professionals and enthusiasts looking to deploy SLAM solutions as a part of their autonomous system workflow.
