Robotics

a mobile robot building a map of an unknown environment while estimating its own position within that map.

In robotics, SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) is the problem of a mobile robot building a map of an unknown environment while at the same time estimating its own position within that emerging map, each estimate depending on the other. Durrant-Whyte and Bailey's 2006 tutorial Simultaneous localization and mapping: Part I frames it as a probabilistic estimation problem solved by fusing sensor observations and motion over time. The referent is an inference loop between pose and map, and it has nothing to do with a fall or a poem beyond the shared acronym.[1]

Evaluated by trajectory (pose) error and map consistency against ground truth

Performance poetry

a competition in which poets perform original work aloud and are scored, usually by audience members.

A poetry slam is a competition in which poets perform original work aloud and are scored, usually by randomly chosen members of the audience, turning poetry into a live popular contest. Somers-Willett's The Cultural Politics of Slam Poetry analyzes the form that grew out of 1980s Chicago as a site of identity, race, and audience judgment. The referent is the competitive performance event and its social dynamics, unrelated to a skater's crash or a robot's mapping loop.[2]

A scored live performance-poetry competition

Scored by audience or appointed judges on a numeric scale per performance
