SLAMcore Offers ‘Out-of-the-Box’ Dense 2.5D Mapping for Fast, Accurate Robot Navigation

SLAMcore, a leader in Spatial Intelligence for autonomous robot location and mapping, has added new dense 2.5D mapping capabilities to its latest software release, which is available now. Robots require maps of their surroundings and the objects within it to navigate effectively - these maps can include point clouds, 2D flat maps, 2.5D dense maps (with heights), 3D maps and semantic maps which identify objects (people/tables/chairs/windows etc).
