MASt3R-SLAM

The first real-time dense SLAM system built on 3D-reconstruction foundation priors (CVPR 2025; 3.1K★, ~240 citations) — the Dyson Robotics Lab's marquee artifact of the foundation-prior era, with a clear follow-on ecosystem. The prior itself (MASt3R) is Naver's; Imperial's contribution is the real-time SLAM system on top. The lineage continues with 4DTAM (CVPR 2025, first full 4D SLAM via dynamic surface Gaussians) and KV-Tracker.
