Abstract: Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a crucial technology for autonomous mobile robots and autonomous driving systems, with a laser scanner (also known as lidar) playing a vital role as a supporting sensor for SLAM algorithms. This article provides a comprehensive review of lidar-based SLAM algorithms. Firstly, it introduces the overall framework of lidar-based SLAM, providing detailed explanations of the functions of the front-end odometry, back-end optimization, loop closure detection, and map building modules, along with a summary of the algorithms used. Secondly, it presents descriptions and summaries of representative open-source algorithms in a sequential order of 2D to 3D and single-sensor to multi-sensor fusion. Additionally, it discusses commonly used open-source datasets, precision evaluation metrics, and evaluation tools. Lastly, it offers an outlook on the development trends of lidar-based SLAM technology from four dimensions: deep learning, multi-sensor fusion, multi-robot collaboration, and robustness research.

Key words: simultaneous localization and mapping, lidar, inertial, multi-sensor fusion
