State Estimation for Robotics: | Guide books
dl.acm.org › doi › bookJul 1, 2017 · A key aspect of robotics today is estimating the state, such as position and orientation, of a robot as it moves through the world. Most robots and autonomous vehicles depend on noisy data from sensors such as cameras or laser rangefinders to navigate in a three-dimensional world.
Introduction (Chapter 1) - State Estimation for Robotics
www.cambridge.org › core › booksAug 9, 2017 · The state of a robot is a set of quantities, such as position, orientation, and velocity, that, if known, fully describe that robot's motion over time. Here we focus entirely on the problem of estimating the state of a robot, putting aside the notion of control. Yes, control is essential, as we would like to make our robots behave in a certain ...
