Course
Fuse Sensor Data to Improve Localization Python
Learn how to fuse GPS, IMU, odometry, and other sources of localization
Course Overview
Description
How can you improve the localization of your robot when you have multiple localization sensors?
We will solve that localization problem by using the robot localization package.
In this course, you are going to work on the following scenarios:
- Use robot_localization to merge different sensor inputs (IMU, Encoders, etc.).
- Use robot_localization with an external localization system (AMCL).
- Use robot_localization with GPS data.
Learning Objectives
- Merge multiples sensor data using the robot_localization package
- Use the robot_localization package with an AMCL Localization system
- Add GPS data to the robot_localization package.
