In the office hours video, Prof. Thrun talks about how SLAM is used for localization in practice. I was wondering what resources/papers are particularly helpful to learn more about using SLAM practically? |
|
Professor Thurn et al. covers a variety of approaches in a bit under 200 pages in Probabilistic Robotics. Bailey and Durant-Whyte published a tutorial in IEEE magazine: Part 1 Part 2 You can also go to the original papers: |

I have a super simple implementation of FastSLAM 1.0 written for MATLAB/Octave that you can check out. The algorithm is ripped straight from Thrun's Probabalistic Robotics book, which is a great resource if you can get your hands on it. |

SLAM Summer School 2009 - Lots of videos here : |
|
I'd suggest Sebastian's papers =] Also, his work named "FastSLAM" is quite impressive. |
|
I would also recommend materials from 3rd Summer School in Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) @ University of Oxford, 2006: |
