In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) — a groundbreaking technology revolutionizing everything from autonomous vehicles to construction, robotics, and healthcare. We explore how SLAM allows mobile systems to map and navigate environments in real time using a combination of sensors like LiDAR, cameras, radar, and inertial measurement units.

You’ll discover how SLAM is already a part of your daily life — powering robotic vacuums, self-driving cars, and drones — and how it's rapidly reshaping industries. We break down how SLAM contributes to high-precision 3D mapping, improves autonomous navigation, enhances robotics automation, and facilitates digital twins and BIM integration in architecture and construction.

We'll also explore:

The role of LiDAR SLAM in creating high-resolution point clouds.

How SLAM is enabling real-time 3D mapping in GPS-denied environments like underground tunnels and indoor spaces.
