Oh, how the world is changing. Technology is progressing faster than ever before; robotics and geomatics have become fused together in revolutionary technology that is sweeping industry for all the right reasons. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) isn't just knocking on the geomatics industry door, it kicked it in! Machine Learning and computer vision are combining with geomatics and autonomous vehicle systems in a hodgepodge of technology, imagination and mathematics. With it comes revolutionary methods of extraction and analysis where humans are evermore removed until the time comes to review the work, rather than perform it. All of this culminates into a harmony of asset awareness and control; saving time, avoiding expense, preserving knowledge, and furthering 21st century application. 

But who are the players? What's available now is beyond a simple 'Google' or 'CoPilot' search. From Japan to England and through back to Japan and in every latitude between, a vast array of manufacturers have carved their nieche in spatial intellitgence. So, which if any is right for you? What system is a tweak away from being perfect? What fits now with potential for the future? What should you be looking out for in SLAM? What considerations should you be making? What are 'realistic expectations' for an industry that's only coming into its own? 

The GoGeomatics CanSLAM Circuit is a cross-country initative established to answer these questions and more. We invite you to come see how.
