For the past few decades, our society has been pioneering  robots that can pilot themselves autonomously using a complex algorithm called SLAM, or Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. But with so many new drones, robots, and sensors entering the market, it's difficult to know what SLAM robots are capable of and where they can operate. 

In this whitepaper we will break down:

• The basics of SLAM and how robots use it to autonomously navigate

• How different sensors are used for SLAM and their pros/cons

• How autonomous robots are used in surveying and how it affects your bottom line
