There is definitely nothing such as a lack of arguments on either of the both fronts of this debate. This short fact- and …
The Limitations of Localisation through Image Recognition in Robotics
Introduction The basic meaning of localisation in robotics is the determination of the exact position of a robot. A more exact definition would be “the concurrent construction of a model of the environment (the map), and the estimation of the state of the robot moving within it” (Cadena, et al., 2016).
