I like the intent of this sentence: 

SLAM has not yet been fully perfected, but it is starting to be employed in unmanned aerial 
vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles, planetary rovers and newly emerging domestic robots.

but have doubts as to what arial and underwater vehicles use SLAM for. I thought this technique was only for mapping indoor environments. -- BAxelrod 13:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

SLAM is a general tehnique/framework for creating maps dynamically while navigating in unknown territories. It is not domain-limited, and is therefore ideally suited for applications like autonomous arial and underwater navigation in unknown territories. Computational complexity may, however, pose a problem in such embedded devices. --Fredrik Orderud 23:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
