Outline

This chapter explains how to add lidar-based odometry generated by laser scan matching, and add an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. It also discusses how to perform sensor fusion to optimize localizing the robot.

Odometry Sensors

Odometry plays a crucial role in estimating the position and orientation of a robot in the environment (i.e., localization). ...
