Strategic Objectives
• Master the core mathematical frameworks behind modern spatial awareness.
• Understand how to fuse noisy sensor data into high-fidelity environment models.
• Explore the transition from basic filter-based SLAM to advanced factor graphs.
• Learn the computational strategies that enable real-time autonomous exploration.
The Core Challenge
The greatest hurdle in robotics isn't movement; it's the computational paradox of building a map while simultaneously using that map to find your way.
