'''Robotic mapping''' is a discipline related to [[computer vision]]<ref name="Juan-Antonio2012">{{cite book|author=Fernández-Madrigal, Juan-Antonio|title=Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for Mobile Robots: Introduction and Methods: Introduction and Methods|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JbaeBQAAQBAJ|date=30 September 2012|publisher=IGI Global|isbn=978-1-4666-2105-3}}</ref> and [[cartography]]. The goal for an [[autonomous robot]] is to be able to construct (or use) a map (outdoor use) or [[floor plan]] (indoor use) and to localize itself and its recharging bases or  beacons in it. Robotic mapping is that branch which deals with the study and application of ability to localize itself in a map / plan and sometimes to  
construct the map or floor plan by the autonomous [[robot]].
 
Evolutionarily shaped blind action may suffice to keep some animals alive. For some [[insect]]s for example, the environment is not interpreted as a map, and they survive only with a triggered response. A slightly more elaborated navigation strategy dramatically enhances the capabilities of the robot. [[Cognitive map]]s enable planning capacities and use of current perceptions, memorized events, and expected consequences.
