How to Make an Autonomous Mapping Robot Using SLAM

This video explains the basics of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), how a LIDAR sensor works, frontier exploration, pathfinding, pure pursuit, obstacle avoidance, and Monte Carlo localization. This project was part of my RBE 3002 class, more details can be found at: https://kainakamura.com/project/slam-robot. 0:00 What is SLAM? 0:44 Implementing SLAM 1:44 Frontier Exploration 2:31 Pathfinding 3:07 Pure Pursuit 4:10 Obstacle Avoidance 4:26 Monte Carlo Localization 5:08 Outro and Mapping Videos
