I solved the assignments from the SLAM (2013) or "Robot Mapping" course taught by Dr. Cyrill Stachniss using C++.

The only 3rd party dependency for the C++ code is the linear algebra library Eigen. I used 3.3.7, but it is possible that this could work with older/newer versions.

I have been compiling this on a windows 10 PC using g++ version 6.3.0, and it is not giving me any warnings.

I have solved the problems and my plots agree with those in the assignments or the "world" definitions; however, some of the code could certainly be improved in terms of proof of validity, readability, and efficiency. There is inconsistent structuring of the project folders at the moment, so I plan to fix this.

Dumping into csv and plotting with python "works", but I would really like to setup something like gnuplot so the plots can be generated as the code is running.

I would like to setup a set of cMake files to build the whole project at once so people do not have to compile each folder individually.

I am working on this as a side project, so I will get to these issues as my freetime allows.
