}Discusses a significant open problem in mobile robotics: simultaneous map building and localization, which the authors define as long-term globally referenced position estimation without a priori information. This problem is difficult because of the following paradox: to move precisely, a mobile robot must have an accurate environment map; however, to build an accurate map, the mobile robot's sensing locations must be known precisely. In this way, simultaneous map building and localization can…
