 Multi-trajectories SLAM
 =======================
 
-Cartographer can perform SLAM from multiple robots emitting data in parallel.
+Cartographer can perform SLAM from multiple robots emiting data in parallel.
 The global SLAM is able to detect shared paths and will merge the maps built by the different robots as soon as it becomes possible.
 This is achieved through the usage of two ROS services ``start_trajectory`` and ``finish_trajectory``. (refer to the ROS API reference documentation for more details on their usage)

 - ``demo_my_robot.launch`` is meant to be used from a development machine and expects a ``bag_filename`` argument to replay data from a recording. This launch file also spawns a rviz window configured to visualize Cartographer's state.
 - ``offline_my_robot.launch`` is very similar to ``demo_my_robot.launch`` but tries to execute SLAM as fast as possible. This can make map building significantly faster. This launch file can also use multiple bag files provided to the ``bag_filenames`` argument.
 - ``demo_my_robot_localization.launch`` is very similar to ``demo_my_robot.launch`` but expects a ``load_state_filename`` argument pointing to a ``.pbstream`` recording of a previous Cartographer execution. The previous recording will be used as a pre-computed map and Cartographer will only perform localization on this map.
-- ``assets_writer_my_robot.launch`` is used to extract data out of a ``.pbstream`` recording of a previous Cartographer execution.
+- ``assets_writer_my_robot.launch`` is used to extract data out of a ``.pstream`` recording of a previous Cartographer execution.
 
 Again, a few adaptations need to be made to those files to suit your robot.
