The Role of Modularity in Multimodal Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Systems

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) refers to the problem of mapping an environment using measurements from mobile sensors while simultaneously estimating the motion of those sensors relative to the map Modular architectures are required to enable the commoditization and fast penetration of SLAMs in the emerging mobile computing systems.

Automated summary

SLAM involves mapping an environment and estimating sensor motion simultaneously, requiring modular architectures for widespread adoption in emerging mobile computing systems.
