The Future of Mapping via Sensing

Via O'Reilly.  Abtract and link to PDF.   Its all about sensing, and here that is about spatial understanding and sensing.

FutureMapping: The Computational Structure of Spatial AI Systems

Andrew J. Davison

We discuss and predict the evolution of Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) into a general geometric and semantic `Spatial AI' perception capability for intelligent embodied devices. A big gap remains between the visual perception performance that devices such as augmented reality eyewear or consumer robots will require and what is possible within the constraints imposed by real products. Co-design of algorithms, processors and sensors will be needed. We explore the computational structure of current and future Spatial AI algorithms and consider this within the landscape of ongoing hardware developments.
