Abstract
SLAM for Autonomy: From Concept to Deployment
In this session, Nazneen Khan will explore the challenges of deploying SLAM in robotics, addressing sensor limitations, computational constraints, and the need for accuracy in dynamic 3D environments. She will highlight how SLAM can be effectively applied to both indoor and outdoor autonomous navigation, sharing strategies, design considerations, and practical insights drawn from real-world implementations.
