The global SLAM Robots Market was valued at US$ 436 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach US$ 1058 million by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report studies the SLAM Robots market, Simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM for short, is the process of creating a map using a robot or unmanned vehicle that navigates that environment while using the map it generates. SLAM is technique behind robot mapping or robotic cartography. The robot or vehicle plots a course in an area, but at the same time, it also has to figure out where its own self is located in the place. The process of SLAM uses a complex array of computations, algorithms and sensory inputs to navigate around a previously unknown environment or to revise a map of a previously known environment. SLAM enables the remote creation of GIS data in situations where the environment is too dangerous or small for humans to map.

Market Overview
The global SLAM Robots market was valued at US$ 436 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach US$ 1058 million by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031. Market growth is fueled by increasing demand for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), improvements in SLAM algorithms, and the growing deployment of robotics in e-commerce, healthcare, and smart manufacturing.
What Are SLAM Robots?
SLAM Robots use a combination of sensors (like LIDAR, cameras, IMUs, and sonar) and algorithms to simultaneously:
- Map an unknown area
- Localize their position within that map
This ability enables them to navigate cluttered, dynamic, or unfamiliar environments without external guidance or GPS systems.
Key capabilities include:
- Real-time map creation
- Self-correction and path planning
- Object detection and avoidance
- High autonomy in unstructured spaces
