A curated list of Object SLAM papers and resources, inspired by awesome-implicit-representations.
This list does not aim to be exhaustive. In this list, we consider papers that jointly optimize robot (camera) and object states, where object states typically include object poses and object shape parameters.
For more general SLAM papers, please refer to awesome-visual-SLAM and Awesome-SLAM.

Object SLAM, loosely speaking tackles the problem of Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) by building a 3D object-level global environment map from local observations. To build such a map of the environment, object detection, pose estimation and instance segmentation networks are typically used as virtual sensors in a sensor fusion framework. Representing the 3D map with objects is interesting as it is easy to ascribe semantics to the landmarks to perform higher-level tasks such as object manipulation, motion and task planning, etc. It compresses the map by focusing compute and memory for meaningful regions, and map abstraction is also useful for other tasks such as distributed map building.
