FastSLAM: A Scalable Method for the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Problem in Robotics (Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics, 27)

This monograph describes a new family of algorithms for the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem in robotics, called FastSLAM. The FastSLAM-type algorithms have enabled robots to acquire maps of unprecedented size and accuracy, in a number of robot application domains and have been successfully applied in different dynamic environments, including a solution to the problem of people tracking.
