Based on continous attractor network dynamics, RatSLAM is capable of mapping by closing loops to correct odometry error.<br> <br> The original RatSLAM algorithm was designed and implemented on Pioneer robots by Michael Milford and Gordon Wyeth (see <a href='http://eprints.qut.edu.au/37593/1/c37593.pdf'>RatSLAM: a hippocampal model for simultaneous localization and mapping</a>).<br> <br> There is an openRatSLAM paper available in <a href='http://www.springerlink.com/openurl.asp?genre=article&id=doi:10.1007/s10514-012-9317-9'>Autonomous Robots</a>. This paper describes how openRatSLAM works in technical detail. If you use the code we would appreciate cites please.<br> <br> The C++ RatSLAM implementation is currently being used to power the iRat robot when it is <a href='http://ratslam.itee.uq.edu.au/live.html'>online</a> and in recent ports of the <a href='http://itee.uq.edu.au/~ruth/Lingodroids.htm'>Lingodroids project</a> to use the iRat.<br> <br> There are now two versions of RatSLAM available, both based on the same code:<br>
<ul><li><b>(NEW)</b> <a href='https://github.com/davidmball/ratslam/blob/wiki/RatSLAMROS.md'>A ROS-based version</a> </li><li><a href='https://github.com/davidmball/ratslam/blob/wiki/RatSLAMLibrary.md'>A C++ library</a></li></ul>We provide three datasets for the ROS version of openRatSLAM available at <a href='https://wiki.qut.edu.au/display/cyphy/openRatSLAM+datasets'>QUT cyphy</a> for:<br>
