for a half century+ of progress in swarm mapping, compare https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Upcoming/Photos/igphoto/20...

I’d rate this guy as a drone pro, maybe like you (sig portion of networth invested/day2day ops involvement?)
(The design issues which i referred to was precisly this kind of intertwining with supply demand.. what kind of blasted solar panels is he talking about sota GaAs barely make the cut atm)
so how do you rate my assessment of drone tech up till 3-5 yrs ahead. How foxy was it :)
L: 1965 soyuzmultfilm of cobra v. cub ( & lone “fox”)
Btw, re p=1537 2014 was obviously a date, slightly curious y you’d clarify :)

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.03136
Code (broken link): https://github.com/ETH-PBL/Nano-C-SLAM
ETH-PBL's page (https://github.com/ETH-PBL/) Does not have a project with similar naming though there is NanoSLAM and Nano_Swarm_Mapping. The former is associated with the paper "NanoSLAM: Enabling Fully Onboard SLAM for Tiny Robots" and the latter with "Fully Onboard SLAM for Distributed Mapping With a Swarm of Nano-Drones"
My guess is that they haven't gotten it through review yet and that's why. Could be for many reasons, I'm not a domain expert here so I'll reserve judgement, but review can be noisy. Still, release the code...
