A new research paper systematically evaluates how different sensor configurations impact Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) performance on quadrupedal robots. The study, conducted using the GrandTour dataset on an ANYmal D robot, found that stereo camera setups are superior to monocular and RGB-D configurations. Additionally, global shutter cameras significantly reduce tracking failures caused by motion compared to rolling shutter cameras. The research also highlights that standard inertial integration can sometimes hinder the performance of vision-centric SLAM systems in dynamic legged locomotion scenarios. AI
