| In robot navigation, a SLAM algorithm is used to construct a map of the robot's environment, while simultaneously locating the robot within that map. There are many different SLAM algorithms, but we are currently using a visual based system using the sub's right and left cameras. This allows us to link the system to Object Detection. | In robot navigation, a SLAM algorithm is used to construct a map of the robot's environment, while simultaneously locating the robot within that map.

| The algorithm works by detecting features (such as edges and corners) in an image, and locates them in space using triangulation with other known map points. | The algorithm works by detecting features (such as edges and corners) in an image, and locates them in space using triangulation with other known map points. | ||
