The robotic perception is undergoing a transformation from navigation of service robots in static indoor environments to operation in large scale dynamic environments. This process is rapidly evolving due to the availability of cheap and robust sensors and computing units and because of the current focus on navigation tasks in automotive and flying applications. It is very tempting to make this transition using tools from the well established service robotics domain and apply them to the outdoor applications. While this process allows a fast deployment of systems in the new domain, multiple new problems are created. The advantage of being able to rely on well-understood and -tested software seem to outweigh the problems, which are created through this migration.
