This video explains the basics of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), how a LIDAR sensor works, frontier exploration, pathfinding, pure pursuit, obstacle avoidance, and Monte Carlo localization. This project was part of my RBE 3002 class, more details can be found at: https://kainakamura.com/project/slam-robot.
