"I would like to provide the highest possible recommendation for the mapping, localization, path planning and exploration capabilities developed by the SRI team. I have worked with their mapping technologies over the past four years and am happy to say that the technology has truly matured into a product that is ready for prime time use. It can be used to support user-focused end-products including some of the military and DOE customers who need mapping of hazardous environments. I also believe that these capabilities can be used effectively by robotics researchers who wish to bootstrap their robotics development efforts."
