Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM)
Intergrating odometry, IMU, and RGBD camera depth data (Asus Xtion - similar to Microsoft Kinect) as psudo Laser range finder, on the Q.Bo robot to perform ultra low cost SLAM. Dev on Linux with ROS (Robot Operating System) and gmapping/hector_SLAM
Example resulting map (Cambridge Engineering department SigProc corridor)
