Research Field
Visual SLAM and 3D reconstruction
Summary
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is the computational problem of constructing or updating a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of an agent’s location within it. It is a widely popular algorithm for mobile robot localization and 3D reconstruction. Current state of art SLAM systems require high computation and are not suitable to use for real time application in low resource devices. Some available low resource real time SLAM algorithms are not robust enough to tackle the very dynamic nature of the real environment.
This project focuses on developing models and algorithms which can perform SLAM in real time on low resource devices such as raspberry pi and jetson nano.
