Ask HN: What is the best intro to SLAM?

3•delbronski•1h ago
Hi HN,

I’ve been a software engineer for about 18 years. Web, desktop, mobile. Been around quite a few different languages and systems.

I’m very motivated to learn as much as I can about Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM).

My long term goal is to be able to automate a fleet of UGVs in rough outdoor environments. I want to learn the basic principles, but also how to use the best and latest tech.

If you are in this field, where do you recommend someone like me start?

Thanks!
