abstract = "The fly algorithm is a real-time evolutionary strategy designed for stereo vision. Previous work has shown how to process stereo image sequences and use an evolving population of flies as a continuously updated representation of the scene for obstacle avoidance in a mobile robot, and the support to collect information about the environment from different sensors. In this paper, we move a step forward and show a way the fly representation may be used by a mobile robot for its own localisation and build a map of its environment (Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping).",
