Return to Question

I took a course to have a better understanding of drones and their design. At the end of the course there was a test question that I got wrong and I would like to understand why.

I was supposed to select the choices that best describe SLAM.

and the possible answers were:

1. Estimates the location of features in the environment?
2. Controls the radar's flight through the environment?
3. Causes the robot to avoid obstacles in the environment?
4. Navigate in a cluttered environment?
5. Estimates the position and orientation of the robot with respect to the environment?

At first I knew that at least 3 and 4 were right because I watched a drone doing these things. I also thought that the last answer was linked to these two so I said yes to it too. Finally, I thought that the only thing that was still controlled by the user would be the flight...

Yet I failed again... Therefore what does Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) software do?

As far as SLAM does, or at least assists, several of the items in the list. I was supposed to select the choices that best describe SLAM.

At first I knew that at least 3 and 4 were right because I watch a drone doing so. I thought that the last one was linked to these two ones so I said yes. At last I thought that the only one that was still controlled by the user would be the flight...
