I am planning to do a project on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) using simulation since I am completely new to robotics I have no idea where to start and how to proceed.Please do help me to begin my work and I need some references for the tutorial.
I would suggest you to use Robot Operating System (ROS). It has good development tools and the algorithms for SLAM and planning already available. You can start with installing ROS followed by ROS tutorials.
