The technology that utilizes simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is commonly found in robotics and augmented reality applications. SLAM enables a device, such as a robot or AR headset, to map an unknown environment while tracking its location within that environment in real-time. This capability is crucial for autonomous navigation, allowing robots to operate in unfamiliar spaces without prior knowledge. By continuously updating the map and position as they move, SLAM-powered devices can navigate effectively and perform tasks in various settings, including indoor and outdoor environments.
