Abstract
Certain examples described herein enable a robotic device to accurate map a surrounding environment. The robotic device uses an image capture device and at least one of the image capture device and the robotic device move within the environment. Measurements associated with movement of at least one of the image capture device and the robotic device are used to determine a state of the robotic device. The state of the robotic device models the image capture device and the robotic device with respect to a model of the environment that is constructed by a mapping engine. By comparing the state of the robotic device with a measured change in the robotic device, an accurate representation of the state of the robotic device may be constructed. This state is used by the mapping engine to update the model of the environment.
