Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We present empirical results showing the effectiveness of Hit L-SLAM at generating globally accurate and consistent maps even when given poor initial estimates of the map.

Pseudocode No The paper describes the system's process flow and components in text and diagrams (e.g., Figure 3), but it does not include any explicitly labeled 'Pseudocode' or 'Algorithm' blocks.
Open Source Code Yes Code and sample data is available at: https://github.com/umass-amrl/hitl-slam
Open Datasets Yes Code and sample data is available at: https://github.com/umass-amrl/hitl-slam
Dataset Splits No The paper describes constructing its own datasets and evaluating the system's performance on these, but it does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits with percentages or sample counts for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification Yes The authors would like to thank Manuela Veloso from Carnegie Mellon University for providing the Co Bot4 robot used to collect the AMRL datasets, and to perform experiments at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Software Dependencies No The paper references other algorithms like Episodic non-Markov Localization (EnML) and Closed-Form Online Pose-Chain SLAM (COP-SLAM), but it does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8', 'PyTorch 1.9').
Experiment Setup No The paper mentions experimental conditions such as limiting the robot's laser range to '1.5m' and introduces constants K1 and K2 for translational and rotational error costs, and a threshold Tp for outlier rejection, but it does not provide specific numerical values for these hyperparameters or other system-level training settings like learning rates or batch sizes.
