Could you share with us what the state of art in SLAM is ? Last I looked, the backend is essentially the same old Kalman-smoother, but the frontend is generally used with hand-tuned features (stuff from the 90s - 00s). Big Data, incl. all the rapid advance in object-recognition CNNs can't really seem to do much in this case; unless there are radical new techniques that I'm not aware of.

Here's a very useful blog that deals exactly with this topic, http://www.computervisionblog.com/2016/01/why-slam-matters-f...

I'd advise others on this thread, who tend to dismiss the difficulty of vision, to realize that techniques in ML and Deep-learning are very problem specific and not the holy grail of AGI they're made out to be.
