ROS Developers Live-Class #51: How to fuse Odometry & IMU using Robot Localization Package

One way to get a better odometry from a robot is by fusing wheels odometry with IMU data. We're going to see an easy way to do that by using the robot localization package, an amazing ROS package that allows to mix any sensor information into a more stable and exact localization data by using Kalman Filters. Even if robot_localization allows to mix many sensor data, in this class we are going to concentrate on mixing odometry with IMU only. We'll use a simulation of the Summit XL robot. But also, we'll test our algorithms in a real Summit XL robot that Robotnik company has sent to us for preparing the classes. Some selected attendants to the class will get access to the robot during the class in a remote way through the ROSDS platform, so you will connect with a real robot located in Barcelona from anywhere in the world. notebook with instructions and ROS code. If you missed the class, you can find the ROSject files and full-code used in the class at the Robot Ignite Academy: https://www.robotigniteacademy.com

=============== =============
Every Tuesday at 18:00 CET / CEST. This is a LIVE Class on how to develop with ROS. In Live Classes, you will practice with me at the same time that I explain, with the provided free ROS material.
IMPORTANT: Remember to be on time for the class because at the beginning of the class we will share the code with the attendants for free.
IMPORTANT 2: in order to start practicing quickly, we are using the ROS Development Studio for doing the practice. You will need a free account to attend the class. Go to http://rosds.online and create an account prior to the class.
