SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) enables robots and drones to build 3D maps while determining their position in real-time using visual or LiDAR data. Core to autonomous vehicles, robotics, AR, and drones. Advanced implementations use graph-based optimization, loop closure, and multi-sensor fusion. Requires strong linear algebra, C++, and robotics fundamentals. Learnable in 8–12 weeks. Salaries for SLAM engineers range $140K–$220K+. Overlaps with computer vision, robotics control, and sensor fusion.
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is the problem of estimating a robot's position in an unknown environment while building a map of that environment in real-time. The robot uses sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU) and algorithms to: 1. Estimate its own pose (position and orientation) relative to landmarks or previous frames.
