Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) estimates agents' trajectories and constructs maps, and localization is a fundamental kernel in autonomous machines at all computing scales, from drones, AR, VR to self-driving cars. In this work, we present an energy-efficient and runtime-reconfigurable FPGA-based accelerator for robotic localization. We exploit SLAM-specific data locality, sparsity, reuse, and parallelism, and achieve >5x performance improvement over the state-of-the-art. Especially, our design is reconfigurable at runtime according to the environment to save power while sustaining accuracy and performance.
