Spinning-Actuated LiDAR-Based SLAM for Robotic Mapping: A Concise Survey

Over the years, significant developments and applications of light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) have occurred in robotic mapping, in part due to the high precision and decreasing costs of LiDAR. This study overviews the most advanced spinning-actuated LiDAR-based SLAM systems and discusses the challenges of meeting modern robotic mapping needs. In general, we intend to provide a substantial resource for researchers and engineers involved in robotic mapping.
