An event driven sensor (EDS) (202, 300, 302, 400, 500, 600) is used for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and in particular is used in conjunction with a constellation (208, 306, 402, 502, 602) of light emitting diodes (LED) to simultaneously localize all LEDs and track EDS pose in space. The EDS may be stationary (500) or moveable (400, 600) and can track moveable LED constellations as rigid bodies. Each individual LED is distinguished at a high rate using minimal computational resources (no image processing). Thus, instead of a camera and image processing, rapidly pulsing LEDs detected by the EDS are used for feature points such that EDS events are related to only one LED at a time.
