TL;DR: PIN-SLAM is a full-fledged implicit neural LiDAR SLAM system including odometry, loop closure detection, and globally consistent mapping Globally consistent point-based implicit neural (PIN) ...

LiDAR-based odometry and mapping is used in many robotic applications to retrieve the robot's position in an unknown environment and allows for autonomous operation in GPS-denied (e.g., indoor) ...

Seafloor mapping is crucial for ocean exploration. Current techniques mostly involve either long-range acoustic sensors or short-range passive optical systems. This paper presents an innovative ...

13 August 2025 Sensor maker Orbbec has unveiled what is billed as the industry’s first direct time-of-flight (dToF) 3D lidar designed for robotic applications. Called Pulsar ME450, the lidar uses a ...
