Active SLAM: A Review on Last Decade

This article presents a comprehensive review of the Active Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (A-SLAM) research conducted over past decade. It explores formulation, applications, methodologies employed in A-SLAM, particularly trajectory generation control-action selection, drawing on concepts from Information Theory (IT) Optimal Experimental Design (TOED). includes both qualitative quantitative analyses various approaches, deployment scenarios, configurations, path-planning methods, utility functions within A-SLAM research. Furthermore, this introduces novel analysis Collaborative SLAM (AC-SLAM), focusing collaborative aspects systems. thorough examination parameters supported by statistical assessments. study also identifies limitations existing literature suggests potential avenues for future survey serves as valuable resource researchers seeking insights into methods techniques, offering current overview formulation.
