This paper demonstrates the use of laser technology in environment scanning for performing indoor positioning and mapping. A 360-degree LiDAR forms the core of the project and the input device used for understanding its surrounding. Hector SLAM and ROS are the two technologies implemented in this project. Hector SLAM where SLAM stands for Simultaneous Mapping and Positioning, is the algorithm used to map the environment and improve navigation accuracy. The aim of this project is to allow an autonomous mobile robot to understand an unknown environment and map its surroundings to perform further tasks using the created map. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
