Fastslam: a factored solution to the simultaneous localization and mapping problem with unknown data association
TL;DR: This paper presents FastSLAM, an algorithm that recursively estimates the full posterior distribution over robot pose and landmark locations, yet scales logarithmically with the number of landmarks in the map.
