Review of SLAM Techniques For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

摘要

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is an important method for autonomous positioning and navigation of robots. SLAM application in underwater area has become an active field of research. Firstly, this paper presents the research status of SLAM technology follow by its application on underwater vehicles. Then, the implementation methods and main difficulties of underwater SLAM are explained. Finally, the research trend of underwater SLAM in the future is discussed.
