AAn seminalearly demonstration of Simultaneous Localisation and mapping by a mobile robot appeared in the work of James L. Crowley in 1985<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Crowley |first=J. |date=1985 |title=Navigation for an intelligent mobile robot |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/jra.1985.1087002 |journal=IEEE Journal on Robotics and Automation |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=31–41 |doi=10.1109/jra.1985.1087002 |issn=0882-4967}}</ref>. Theoretical foundations for a probabilistic solution to SLAM iswere thepresented in research of R.Randy C. Smith and P.Peter Cheeseman on the representation and estimation of spatial uncertainty in 1986.<ref name=Smith1986>{{cite journal

}}</ref> OtherThe pioneeringacronym SLAM was first suggested in a panel discussion at the 1986 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA '86) in Raleigh North Carolina, that included James L. Crowley, Randy C. Smith, Peter Cheeseman, and Hugh Durrant-Whyte. Pioneering work in this field was conducted by the research group of [[Hugh F. Durrant-Whyte]] in the early 1990s.<ref name=Leonard1991>{{cite book

The acronym SLAM was coined within the paper, "Localization of Autonomous Guided Vehicles" which first appeared in [[Information Systems Research|ISR]] in 1995.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Durrant-Whyte|first1=H.|last2=Bailey|first2=T.|date=June 2006|title=Simultaneous localization and mapping: part I|journal=IEEE Robotics Automation Magazine|volume=13|issue=2|pages=99–110|doi=10.1109/MRA.2006.1638022|s2cid=8061430|issn=1558-223X|doi-access=free}}</ref>

The self-driving STANLEY and JUNIOR cars, led by [[Sebastian Thrun]], won the DARPA Grand Challenge and came second in the DARPA Urban Challenge in the 2000s, and included SLAM systems, bringing SLAM to worldwide attention. Mass-market SLAM implementations can now be found in consumer robot vacuum cleaners<ref>{{Cite news|last=Knight|first=Will|url=https://www.technologyreview.com/s/541326/the-roomba-now-sees-and-maps-a-home/|title=With a Roomba Capable of Navigation, iRobot Eyes Advanced Home Robots|work=MIT Technology Review|date=September 16, 2015|access-date=2018-04-25|language=en}}</ref> and [[Virtual reality headset|virtual reality headsets]] such as the [[Meta Quest 2]] and [[PICO 4]] for markerless inside-out tracking.
