My name is Shromm Gaind, a Year 10 student in my final year of the Middle Years Programme. I am undertaking a task to invent Dynamic SLAM algorithm for my Personal Project which will help with things such as for example, 3D reconstruction of Mars.

I have always been interested in programming complex problems. During my time in Robocup 2017, I met a post doctoral fellow that works in CSIRO (The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation is an Australian government agency responsible for scientific research.)

Dr Nick Hockings, who is currently working on inventing soft matter robots. During 2018 and 2019, I did two work experience at CSIRO's Robotics and Autonomous systems group, where researchers mentored me into working with Computer Vision and then SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping is the computational problem of constructing or updating a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of an agent's location within it) specifically RGB-D SLAM (which is slam but with a normal camera because it is more complex).

Now I have enough skill, I am inventing Dynamic SLAM (which is a 3D reconstruction of dynamically moving objects using a normal camera). This algorithm will allow scientists and researchers into the development of Artificial General Intelligence and 3D Mapping complex scenes.

I still have a long way to go in terms of solving more mathematical errors I have been hit with, but I am satisfied with my progress so far.
