Visual SLAM enabled products:

• Dyson/iRobot
• ARKit, ARCore,
• Occulus, HoloLens
• DJI, Skydio

Cameras are cheap, small. Potentials with cameras on what you can do are limitless.

Positioning and spare/semi-dense reconstruction are quite mature now.

SLAMCORE

• Robust localisation
• Dense Mapping
• Semantic Understanding

SLAM is continuously evolving → working towards Spatial AI.

Spatial AI

• General household robots → Power, performance, aesthetics, form factor, price... all should fit in
