This repository contains the code for the IEEE INFOCOM 2023 paper: "AdaptSLAM: Edge-Assisted Adaptive SLAM with Resource Constraints via Uncertainty Minimization" by Ying Chen, Hazer Inaltekin, and Maria Gorlatova.

The AdaptSLAM implementation is based on ORB-SLAM3 and Edge-SLAM.

Outline

• I. Prerequisites
• II. Our Testing Setup
• III. Running AdaptSLAM in Simulated Settings
• IV. Running AdaptSLAM on Client and Server Devices

I. Prerequisites

Setup the ORB-SLAM3 prerequisites.

II. Our Testing Setup

• Dell XPS 8930 desktop with Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-9700K CPU@3.6GHz and NVIDIA GTX 1080 GPU, and a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop (with an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU and an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti GPU) using a virtual machine with 4-core CPUs and 8GB of RAM.
• Ubuntu 18.04LTS.
• OpenCV 3.4.2.
• Eigen3 3.2.10.

III. Running AdaptSLAM in Simulated Settings

1. Building AdaptSLAM in Simulated Settings

After cloning the repository, build the Thirdparty libraries and AdaptSLAM.

cd AdaptSLAM/Sim AdaptSLAM
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

2. Running Examples

a. Download the EuRoC V102 sequence.

b. Execute the following script:

./Examples/Monocular/mono_euroc ./Vocabulary/ORBvoc.txt ./Examples/Monocular/EuRoC.yaml V102FileDirectory ./Examples/Monocular/EuRoC_TimeStamps/V102.txt dataset-V102_mono

Change V102FileDirectory to the directory where the dataset has been uncompressed.

IV. Running AdaptSLAM on Client and Server Devices

1. Building AdaptSLAM on Client and Server Devices

a. In src/LocalMapping.cc, modify #Input your IP address# to your IP address. You can also modify #Input your port number# to the port number you selected. However, the default port numbers should also work.

b. On both client and server devices, build the Thirdparty libraries and AdaptSLAM.

cd AdaptSLAM/Edge-assisted AdaptSLAM
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

2. Running Examples

For example, for EuRoC V102 sequence, please execute the following script on both server and client devices

./Examples/Monocular/mono_euroc ./Vocabulary/ORBvoc.txt ./Examples/Monocular/EuRoC.yaml V102FileDirectory ./Examples/Monocular/EuRoC_TimeStamps/V102.txt dataset-V102_mono

Then on the client device, please enter client when the message in the terminal window ask to Enter the run type (client or server). On the server device, please enter server.

After this, two TCP connections between the client and server devices will be established.

Associated Demo

The associated demo builds a game engine-based emulator, which lets participants navigate virtual spacecraft environments while create their own moving trajectories for evaluating AdaptSLAM and the baseline. The demo was presented at IEEE INFOCOM in Hoboken, NJ.
