Man I wanted to do just this sort of thing 15 years ago but of course the sensors and processing power weren’t really small or powerful enough then. So cool.

- mrguyorama 3y agoSomewhere in the archives is an article of a "self driving racing rc car" sport of some sort where the creator used a camera looking at the ceiling and mapping the lights to localize itself on the track. Way cooler IMO. Everything gets easier in SLAM when you can just burn $1k on lidar.
- bfrog 3y agoSeriously. Lidars 15 years ago from sick were huge and way more than $1k I tried with cameras and other sensors, made it very hard to do slam reliably. I imagine slam algorithms have also improved a good deal.
