This tutorial provides an introduction to the Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) method and the extensive research on SLAM that has been undertaken. Part I of this tutorial described the essential SLAM problem. Part II of this tutorial (this paper) is concerned with recent advances in computational methods and in new formulations of the SLAM problem for large scale and complex

In this report is presented a work plan towards a PhD thesis on the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping problem. In the first part, an analysis of the problem is presented, followed by a survey of the state of the art. After pointing out some open issues, a research plan is then sketched.

In this report we present our work plan in the development of a PhD thesis on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for unstructured environments. In the first part of this document we introduce the problem, then we present the basic tools for Bayesian state estimation, and give a summary of the state of the art in the field. In the second part we present our work plan, together with our recent...
