Getting every sensor and every joint to speak the same coordinate language.

Published notes

Notes for this stop are being written — coming soon.

Questions on the roadmap

  1. Four ways to write a rotationThe costs of Euler angles, rotation matrices, axis–angle and quaternions.
  2. SE(3) and Lie algebraWhy optimize poses in the tangent space?
  3. The ROS 2 TF treeHow map → odom → base_link → sensor fits together.
  4. Extrinsic calibrationAligning a camera and a LiDAR to one world.
