Applications for 6D-SLAM

Hi, there are many sensors and SLAM-algorithms that create 2D maps of the environment. Stereo cameras, Range finders and titlable laser scanners provide distance data for the complete 3d scene. I am searching for applications and indoor environments where the 3d information is of high importance so that 2D localisation is not enough.

Any ideas?

Regards, Alex

A very good question. Please post any answers you find.

2D is _never_ enough in real environments: mobile robots with just 2D maps would constantly drive into tables and other "hanging" objects as soon as they would like to _do_ something more in the environment than just the mapping itself. Try it out for yourself: how many of your daily indoor activities can you do by just knowing a 2D floor map and nothing more?
