Theseus is a library for differentiable nonlinear optimization that lets you embed solvers like Gauss-Newton or Levenberg–Marquardt inside PyTorch models. Problems are expressed as factor graphs with variables on manifolds (e.g., SE(3), SO(3)), so classical robotics and vision tasks—bundle adjustment, pose graph optimization, hand–eye calibration—can be written succinctly and solved efficiently. Because solves are differentiable, you can backpropagate through optimization to learn cost...

...However, learning representations for SLAM has been an open question, because traditional SLAM systems are not end-to-end differentiable. In this work, we present gradSLAM, a differentiable computational graph take on SLAM. Leveraging the automatic differentiation capabilities of computational graphs, gradSLAM enables the design of SLAM systems that allow for gradient-based learning across each of their components, or the system as a whole.
