LAMP 2.0: A Robust Multi-Robot SLAM System for Operation in Challenging Large-Scale Underground Environments by Chang, Yun, Ebadi, Kamak, Denniston, Christopher E, Ginting, Muhammad Fadhil, Rosinol, Antoni, Reinke, Andrzej, Palieri, Matteo, Shi, Jingnan, Chatterjee, Arghya, Morrell, Benjamin, Agha-mohammadi, Ali-akbar, Carlone, Luca

“…This crucial requirement is faced with many challenges in complex and perceptually-degraded subterranean environments, as the onboard perception system is required to operate in off-nominal conditions (poor visibility due to darkness and dust, rugged and muddy terrain, and the presence of self-similar and ambiguous scenes). In a disaster response scenario and in the absence of prior information about the environment, robots must rely on noisy sensor data and perform Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to build a 3D map of the environment and localize themselves and potential survivors. …”
