cess

ors

1

Core SLAM- modular SLAM system- utilising traditional and near-term novel sensors and processors

1

2

Event-Based SLAM- complementary sensor- eventually becomes module within Core SLAM

2

3

Ultimate SLAM- running on compact and low power platforms- integrate sensors, processors and algorithms closely together
