GPS technology today plays the most crucial role in the transport and infrastructure industry and finds its applications in several day-to-day activities such as shopping, searching locations, and traffic navigation. Despite offering a never-ending list of advantages, GPS technology has its share of disadvantages, inaccuracy and the inability to work inside a closed environment. The simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology has emerged as an ideal solution to overcome the shortcomings of GPS technology. SLAM technology converts visual data from the physical world in a format that’s understandable for machines and helps produce suitable outputs. The technology has helped indoor machines in understanding maps of the local environment and adapt themselves according to the surroundings. At present SLAM technology is used for a variety of platforms such as robots, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), augmented reality, and autonomous vehicles. Technology giants such a...
