Motivations and Objectives
Due to its high relevance, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the most deeply investigated fields in mobile robotics. Over the last two decades hundreds of publications addressing the topic have been produced, and effective approaches are nowadays available. However, having such a large choice can become an issue both for the SLAM user that does not know what to select and for the SLAM researcher that has to compare their method with hundreds of others. These problems could be solved by an automated and open SLAM evaluation system. However, the construction of such a system poses different conceptual and practical problems, such as: What are the properties of interest? How to measure them? And how to compare heterogeneous systems? In this workshop, we will discuss how to answer these questions and we will present a system to compare a well defined sub-problem in the domain of graph-based SLAM systems, the graph-optimization.
